Cafe Manager

This newly refurbished and recently reopened café is now seeking to once again cement its place as the loving, welcoming space for the people of Woking to enjoy.

• Who knows how to manage, develop, and work within a close-knit café team
• Who has experience of working in café management or a hospitality environment
• Who understands and enjoys the challenges of running a customer-focused cafe, can develop and implement a successful business strategy, and can manage budgets
• Who has great communication and people skills, and can keep a calm under pressure
• Who is flexible, resourceful, and decisive
• Who will seek to create and maintain a warm and friendly atmosphere for both staff and customers, and can signpost appropriately for pastoral support if the need arises
• Who shares our faith and embraces and celebrates our wider mission.
