We are looking for a volunteer to help at the weekly drop-in cafe.

The volunteer will be asked to complete the following tasks:

- set up the refreshments counter

- greet people

- serve refreshments (teas/coffees/other drinks, cakes/biscuits)

- ask people to sign in

- take money (small amounts, usually between £20-£30) and operate card reader

- wash and dry cups/plates/cutlery

- wipe down counters and sink area

- pack and put away refreshments

We would like someone who is friendly and welcoming, and able to organize and serve refreshments.

As we are a Church group, the volunteer will have to go though a Church recruitment process (simply completing a form and attending a short interview). However, the volunteer does not have to be a Church member, can be of any faith or none, and does not have to promote Church activities unrelated to the Cafe.
