Cafe Volunteers

← Back to search results

The café was set up twelve years ago to provide low cost food to the people of Vange and the surrounding area. It provides a welcoming place for people to meet. We offer a listening ear and it has become a regular place to come for many people. It is run by church and community volunteers and over the twelve years has provided experience for some to move onto paid employment in hospitality.

We are looking for cafe volunteers who can:

  • Greet and chat to customers
  • Take orders
  • Serve food
  • Clear tables
  • Take payments

The cafe currently operates on a Tuesday and Wednesday 9am - 3pm.

From April 2023 the cafe will be opening an additional day (Thursdays) and we are looking for additional volunteers who can support these sessions. 


What skills do I need?

We are looking for volunteers who:

- Are friendly and enjoy engaging with the public

- Are reliable and committed to volunteering weekly

- Are able to work independently with minimal supervision

Training will be given onsite.
