Job Description:
Join the Adventure Valley team in Brasside, Durham. We’re the biggest family adventure park in the North East and our Café Italia is right at the heart of it.
We are searching for enthusiastic and bubbly team members, with great customer service skills, to start in the café immediately.
This front-of-house role involves taking customer orders on the till, and serving hot & cold drinks and snacks from the counter. You will also serve hot ordered dishes to customers at their table, ensuring the table is then cleared quickly upon their departure.
Cleaning and preparing the cafe before opening, and during the busy service, is vital to ensure the presentation of the café is second to none at all times.
We’re looking for great team players, with a flexible and cheerful attitude, who can provide a friendly, first-class customer experience, even under pressure. Previous experience using a till or in a customer-facing role would be an advantage, but if you have energy and a passion for excellent customer service, you could have what it takes.
The hours will vary, but weekends, bank holidays and school holidays are our busiest times when all hands are on deck, so flexibility and reliability are vitally important. We are open from 10am until 5pm all year round, so all shifts are during the day.
To apply, please send your CV along with a covering letter to jobs@adventurevalley.co.uk, outlining the skills you can bring to the role. We look forward to hearing from you.
