Your Welcome. Our Hub. A Community That Feels at Home.

The Hub isn't your average café. It's a community building at the heart of Mulberry Park, Foxhill and Combe Down, and it's where the whole neighbourhood meets. In one shift you might make a flat white for a new parent, set up a room for a business meeting and serve Sunday roast to a table of regulars.

We take pride in what we serve. Our coffee comes from Wogan Coffee, a family roaster in Bristol. Most of our cakes are from the Cake Architect in Bradford on Avon. And our food hygiene rating is five stars.

This is a permanent role in a settled team. You'll get to know regulars by name, train as a barista and build skills you can grow with.

• Welcoming everyone who comes in, whether they’re here for the café, a class, a meeting or an office visit
• Rotating between the till, the coffee machine and the floor, serving food and drinks (including alcohol) inside and out

• Setting up the café, outdoor seating and meeting rooms, including moving furniture, so the space looks its best
• Supporting meetings and events, from welcoming guests and serving refreshments to helping set up IT
• Handling enquiries in person, by phone, email and social media, and putting things right when feedback comes in
• Ordering stock, keeping the space clean and following food safety and allergen rules, working closely with the kitchen team

Working pattern: 20 hours a week on a rota that includes evenings and weekends. You'll get your rota two weeks in advance.

What You’ll Get In Return

• 26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years, pro rata
• Your birthday off as an extra holiday
• Up to 10% matched pension contribution
• Flexible benefits which might include a Health Cash Plan
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for your own wellbeing

More About You

Essential

• Experience of working front of house in a busy hospitality or leisure setting, such as a café, restaurant, bar, hotel or leisure centre
• Experience of taking payments using a till or card machine
• A friendly, confident manner with all kinds of people, face to face, by phone and by email
• A flexible, hands‑on approach and the ability to stay calm and organised under pressure
