This role is also critical to maintaining the function of the café and kitchen as a learning and employment environment for vulnerable young people. A core part of the work will therefore be the delivery of supportive in-work training and activity, providing young people with professional skills and confidence.

The role will provide day-to-day leadership for a dedicated team of four workers and two volunteers, and be supported by experienced Scran catering staff who will assist with on-site support for the initial weeks after opening.
