Community Cafe Volunteer

Te Whare Roimata is looking for a reliable, community minded volunteer to join our Tiny Shops Village Cafe team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys meeting people, has a warm and patient approach, and wants to make a positive difference in their local community. Our low cost community cafe area is a space where people can connect, enjoy affordable food and drinks, and feel a sense of belonging.

What you'll do:

• Prepare and serve simple food items
• Make hot and cold drinks with an espresso machine 
• Provide friendly customer service
• Handle cash transactions (no EFTPOS)
• Keep the cafe clean and tidy
• Follow food safety and licensing requirements

We're seeking someone who is:

• Friendly and reliable 
• Empathetic, patient, and non-judgmental
• Comfortable working as part of a small team in a very small space
• Keen to support a grassroots community initiative

Previous food handling or community work experience is helpful but not essential. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

You'll work alongside our Cafe Coordinator who will guide and support you in the role. You'll also be welcomed by a friendly team of volunteers who are passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive community space.

Time commitment:

Approximately 8 hours per week between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm, on either Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Days can be discussed depending on availability.

If you're looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity where your time and skills will make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you!

Please email Georgina at tinyshopsvillage@gmail.com with some info about yourself and which days/hours you are available to volunteer. CV's are also helpful if you have one!
