Do you have excellent people skills and experience of working in the catering or hospitality industry? We have an exciting opportunity to join our new Community Café staff team and support people with additional needs to develop their skills and experience within a working café environment.

The Jobs Coach role will lead on running a catering, retail and hospitality training programme centred around the Farm’s new Community Café and Farm Shop. As part of our Roots to Work programme for people furthest from the jobs market, the Jobs Coach will support work-based placements for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues to develop skills and vocational qualifications in food preparation, front of house and customer service.

Adjacent is a children’s play area. In front of the café is an edible garden providing a visual connection between farm grown produce and the dishes served in the café.
