St Luke's Church in Thurnby is building a community cafe and centre in the heart of Thurnby Village in Leicestershire. The church is seeking a Community Cafe Manager who is passionate about giving back to the community, enjoys meeting people, and loves the idea of a community space that provides great hospitality. Previous cafe experience is not required, but a willingness to learn and a heart for helping those in need with great hospitality is essential.

​

The new cafe will be located in a refurbished building on the edge of Manor Park, and will offer a 50-cover cafe with adjoining rooms that can extend the space, as well as an aspect overlooking the park play area with additional tables outside. The cafe will be a positive hub for the whole community and will provide resources to help members of the local neighbourhood.

​

The role of the Community Cafe Manager will be to lead the launch of the cafe, develop a strong culture of friendliness and helpfulness, and ensure every customer enjoys great hospitality. The Manager will also play a key role in developing the menu and providing something for everyone in the neighbourhood.

​

The hours will be flexible around the opening hours of the cafe, and will require weekends and some evening working. The salary is £30,000 per year, and the role comes with a good holiday entitlement and benefits that fit with the key importance of the role. The opening is scheduled for October 2023, and the opportunity is huge to make a real difference in the community.
