ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Whitworth Art Gallery is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join its catering team as Hospitality Services Assistant.
We wish to appoint a motivated and enthusiastic individual to assist with daytime and evening hospitality across the gallery. The post holder will carry out hospitality services across the Whitworth Art Gallery (including café and restaurant service within the café area, as well working on weddings, events and hospitality), providing a warm and friendly service in support of the Gallery visitor experience.
The post holder should have demonstrable knowledge, experience and awareness of customer service in a similar environment, along with a basic understanding of Health and safety and food safety in a café environment. Barista skills and previous knowledge of a busy café service would be beneficial, and a naturally positive attitude towards a busy/pressurised environment is essential to this role.
This role is a great opportunity to work with a great team in an exciting venue!
This is a part-time (20 hours a week) vacancy, working on a rota basis across the full 7-days of the week. With the busiest days for the gallery being at weekends, successful candidates will be expected to work weekend shifts. The business potentially operates Monday to Sunday (7 days a week), with both daytime and evening work.
