Assistant Manager
Calling all caffeine-loving, coffee-making team managers! Cadence is on the lookout for an Assistant Manager to join our growing team.
At Cadence we aim to provide our customers with an awesome coffee and food experience and are seeking someone who can help us on that mission!
We offer exactly what we crave when we are out on the trails or road. With a mantra of simplicity, quality and value, we have developed a small range of delicious, satisfying and portable treats.
We are currently looking to recruit an experienced Assistant Manager to join the Cadence team, supporting the day-to-day running of two of our Clubhouse cafés – Litlington and Horam.
This role is unique in that you will work across both locations, supporting two separate Clubhouse Managers and becoming an important part of both teams. Your rota will typically consist of two shifts at one location and three shifts at the other, alternating the following week (three shifts at one site and two at the other). We are looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively across both cafés, providing friendly and welcoming service to all Cadence customers, leading by example, supporting the wider team, and working closely with both managers to ensure each Clubhouse operates smoothly.
We are looking for an experienced Assistant Manager who can deliver strong leadership whilst encouraging the team to execute excellent coffee, food and customer service. You should be passionate about encouraging the team to deliver service which encapsulates our Heart and Home values, be reliable with communication when it comes to stock, the team, service, customers and the overall performance of the cafés. Teamwork is key, as this helps the Clubhouse Managers create a positive working environment and facilitates training. You will need to be knowledgeable about the systems, processes and SOPs used within the Clubhouses, ensuring these are implemented correctly, whilst supporting the successful development and growth of both the team and the cafés.
This role is ideal for someone looking to take the next step in their hospitality journey. Cadence is a growing business, and there will be opportunities for future growth for the right candidate.

- Experience running a team within the food and beverage industry (preferably coffee).
- Ability to work weekends and bank holidays.
- Comfortable working across both Litlington and Horam Clubhouses, spending time at each location throughout the rota.
