Overview

Staffed by employees and volunteers, we provide an outstanding range of beverages and healthy food choices. Our customers love the fact that the money they spend with us pays for volunteer action in hospitals and the community.

The Role

Working alongside a friendly team, you will participate in the day-to-day running of our busy café in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital.

**In this role, you will be responsible for**:
