Café Supervisor

**The role: Hourly rate between £11.91 - £13.02**

This role sits in our Bridge Café Bar Team which forms part of our Social Enterprise offering at SUSU. As the Cafe Supervisor you will be responsible for managing shifts in The Bridge, a food and drink led outlet. You will shift manage a team of up to 8 members of staff and ensure that they deliver the highest possible standards in our venues.

You will be put through First Aid training, Barista and Cocktail training. Part of the role will also involve liaising with external contractors on shift, such as security and event organisers. This role will also act as a key holder for the SUSU buildings when required.

More information can be found on the role profile and personal specification. The Bridge serves food daily - hence, you will need to obtain a level 3 food hygiene qualification (if you don’t already have one), which will be facilitated by SUSU.

**About you**

To succeed in this role, you will need to be motivated and proactive. You will often be the most senior member of staff on a shift and will need to be able to prioritise and allocate tasks to the team effectively. Ideally you will have a strong background in customer service and supervisory roles.

You will be working alongside and serving students; therefore, you need to have an appreciation of their needs and be willing to listen to constructive feedback to help us deliver an appropriate offer for our members.

You will report to the Bridge Manager and will have regular interactions with the various other SUSU functions so you should be comfortable communicating with a wide range of people and be able to tailor your methods and tone to suit the audience.
