The Platform Café is at the heart of our community in Loughborough Junction – a small, welcoming space where people come together over great coffee and homemade, seasonal vegetarian food. We’re looking for a passionate Head Chef & Café Operations Manager to lead our kitchen and day-to-day café operations, bringing both creativity and organisation to this unique role.
This is more than a job – it’s an opportunity to shape a space that’s safe, inclusive, and accessible to everyone, while supporting LJAG’s mission to strengthen community connection. You’ll lead a friendly, dedicated team, create tasty menus that reflect our diverse neighbourhood, and help ensure the café thrives both as a social hub and sustainable enterprise.
If you love great food, enjoy working with people, and want to make a positive impact locally, we’d love to hear from you.
