Front of House / Barista
The Platform Cafe is a community kitchen and event space in the heart of Loughborough Junction. We prepare healthy vegetarian meals using surplus produce and vegetables grown at our neighbouring community garden, the Loughborough Farm. We’ll be serving speciality coffee from local roastery and social enterprise Old Spike.
As the café reopens after a four-month closure, we are looking for someone with hospitality experience to join our welcoming and friendly team. We’d love to work with someone with a high level of customer service, warmth, enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and a love of good food and good coffee.
If this sounds like you, please send a short cover letter and a copy of your CV to [email protected] and feel free to ask if you have any questions about the role.
