Colinton Parish Church is looking for a part-time Catering Manager to lead its team of circa 60 volunteers who staff the Swing Café adjacent to the Church.

The Swing Café is a not-for-profit venture that reaches out to the Colinton community to provide a welcoming environment and friendship to all its visitors. We have been operating for 20 years and are looking forward to the future to further develop how we use the café as part of our community outreach.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking for a part-time role in a lovely setting with the opportunity not only to lead but also to help us shape what we plan to provide and deliver in the future.

Experience of working with volunteers and having been part of projects introducing change to a team are desirable. Experience of working or volunteering in a catering environment is essential. It is important to have someone who can engage with volunteers and community partners, and work using their own initiative and creativity.

As we emerge from Covid-19 restrictions, Colinton Parish Church is looking for a Children, Young People and Families Worker to work with our Sunday Club and families within the congregation and Colinton community.

Colinton is a suburban parish in the South-West of Edinburgh. We have attractive Rooms beside our Church and a separate Hall elsewhere in Colinton, which under normal circumstances support a variety of activities, including nurseries and a Café.

This appointment is for an eighteen month duration from a mutually agreed starting date which we hope will be in September or October 2021. The post is part-time, 15 hours per week. The exact working pattern is negotiable but must include Sunday mornings and some daytime and some evening work. The salary will be £10000 per annum.
