• Has experience in a café, youth work, or community setting.
• Is friendly, organised, and able to juggle different tasks with a smile.
• Can bring creativity and enthusiasm to help our café and youth activities thrive.

You’ll also need to be flexible, reliable, and happy to work some evenings and weekends for youth sessions and community events.

What We Offer

• A supportive and welcoming team environment.
• Opportunities for training and personal development.
• The chance to make a lasting impact in your community.
• A role full of variety, creativity, and purpose.

You will be supported by the Town Clerk and Newport Town Council officers and will work closely with the Café Manager and the volunteers at the Community Café.
