The Takeley Old School Community Café Café Assistant

Volunteers are needed to support a community café by providing a friendly, welcoming service to customers. The role involves greeting people, taking orders, preparing drinks and serving food, alongside general front-of-house tasks such as clearing tables, wiping surfaces and helping with the washing up when needed.

Volunteers are not asked to prepare food.

This is a practical, customer-facing volunteering role in a busy café setting, so teamwork and a positive attitude are important. The organisation provides basic training in food safety and front-of-house duties, with ongoing support and a written role description.

It is suitable for under 18s and includes the opportunity to gain experience in hygiene, customer service and practical catering tasks.
