Columcille offers creative activities in a community setting for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs. Activities include gardening, cooking, pottery, crafts, printing, drama, music, dancing, and joinery. Our approach values the uniqueness and gifts of each person and supports people to develop their creative skills and do meaningful work and activities in a friendly and warm social environment. Columcille is founded on the ideas of social therapy which originate in the thinking of Rudolf Steiner.
The café at Columcille is used by individuals who attend the centre and staff and is the social heart of the building providing morning and afternoon tea breaks, and a cooked lunch each day. The post holder will share responsibility for running the café at Columcille, supporting a small group of adults with learning disabilities to prepare lunch and tea breaks. The post holder will work closely with the other workshop co-leader who works Thursday and Friday, in planning and coordinating the smooth running of the café including record keeping, food and equipment ordering, stock control. Maintaining a high standard of food hygiene and cleaning routines is an important part of the role.
We are looking for someone with experience of supporting adults with learning disabilities, knowledge and experience of meal preparation and menu planning, and an interest in working for an organisation working from the ideas of social therapy and social pedagogy.
