Background


PKAVS is a leading charity in Perth & Kinross, enhancing lives and connecting communities through diverse services in the areas of Carers, Mental Wellbeing, Minority Communities, Third Sector support and Volunteering.

Every year PKAVS enhances the lives of over 5,000 local people, helping them to overcome barriers and achieve their goals.

PKAVS is also the Third Sector Interface for Perth & Kinross, supporting and developing the Third Sector and enhancing the Sector's role in Community Planning.


PKAVS Mental Health & Wellbeing Hub provides support to people (aged 16 and above) recovering from mental health difficulties within two locations in Perth & Kinross.

The community-based service aims to create an environment of wellbeing, offering a range of meaningful activities to support clients in achieving their individual goals through a recovery and outcomes-based model.

Activities include gardening, creative arts, café/catering experience, woodwork and physical/nutritional activity.

Role
We are looking for a highly motivated person to work within our Hub.

The role of Activity Engagement Worker (Café) is to promote holistic wellbeing and recovery, while providing a catering service to members of the public.

This role has a balanced focus of client engagement and income generation.

The engagement worker should be working in line with our ethos of client development and empowering people to move towards positive destinations within the field of catering/hospitality, food and nutrition.

You will be working as part of a small, supportive and dynamic staff team.

You will be required to provide support and engagement opportunities to clients participating in the café activity area (Wednesday — Friday).

During these client activity engagement days, the role of Activity Engagement Worker (Café) is to empower clients, help build and improve confidence, and develop skills, knowledge and enjoyment within the areas of catering/hospitality, food and nutrition.

On a Saturday, the Café activity will not be open for client support/engagement, meaning the Activity Engagement Worker (Café) will only work with a team of independent volunteers on this day.

Income generation will be the main focus for work undertaken on a Saturday.


Experience of working within a café/field of catering is essential as you will be responsible for delivering a modest seasonal menu of light lunches, drinks and home baking.

As the café will be open to customers from Wednesday to Saturday, your role is to ensure your team of clients and volunteers are in a position to provide a confident service.

Development of outside catering and take-away options are also part of your job role.


Your role will work in collaboration with other activity engagement staff, in facilitating cooking workshops to small groups of clients interested in learning practical cookery skills.
