Basic IT skills - internet & email, Language Skills, Negotiating, Research

We are looking for people who work well with other people and have good interpersonal skills. Outgoing personalities will help but introverts who are confident about their skills will find it enjoyable too. Some basic IT and research skills will help us to help customers to find information, language skills may help with customers whose first language is not English, and if you are diplomatic and good at negotiating, that will be a help too! But equally, if you are really good at runninig fun quizzes, that will be fine.

A chance to give back to the community in a role that is not physically stressful and does not involve working with or serving food or drinks. You will gain confidence and develop your skills as well as meeting some real characters, making new friends and learning more about the local area.

The cafe runs 10am - 2pm Monday - Friday. You can opt for one or more shift depending what you want to commit to. We also have a late afternoon cafe on Tuesday (4pm - 6pm) and Saturday mornings (9.30am - 1pm) if these time slots will suit you better. If you are superconfident and want to run a new cafe session, for example in the afternoon, that would be fine too.
