Sunrise Partnership offers a free, confidential service in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire for children and young people up to age 18 who have been affected by loss and bereavement.

We are looking for an area manager to continue to develop and deliver Sunrise Partnership’s presence across North and Central Aberdeenshire, along with the other part time Area Manager. You will require a relevant professional qualification (eg social work, teaching, nursing, psychology) along with the appropriate skills and experience to work directly with bereaved children and young people. This will include one-to-one and group sessions. Excellent inter-personal and leadership skills are essential, as are a dynamic and self-motivated outlook.

This is a part time role (17.5 hours per week).

We are a dynamic community and youthwork organisation based in the Blackhill/ Provanmill area of north-east Glasgow. Through our varied and creative programmes, St Paul’s Youth Forum works with our local community to alleviate the worst effects of poverty. Thanks to significant funding from Glasgow City Council, and the support of the People Make Glasgow Communities team and Glasgow Life, we are thrilled to be able to reopen our local Community Centre and establish a community hub in the heart of Blackhill.

Purpose of the Role

Are you passionate about the power of food to bring people together? At SPYF, food has been at the core of many of our programmes for a number of years and we are hugely excited for the potential this cafe has to catalyse growth in our community.

The Training Cafe Manager will manage the cafe within the SPYF Molendinar Community Centre as a training venture, working in partnership with local secondary schools to increase the employability of local young people whilst providing a vital service for the local community. A key purpose of the cafe will also be to provide a free healthy meal for anyone in need, alongside other menu options.

We envisage that the Training Cafe Manager will deliver a complete introduction to all facets of hospitality work, including accredited qualifications, cooking skills, front of house, and business management. Partnership working will be key to this post to maximise the benefits for the young people we will be working with, including developing opportunities for positive destinations beyond their time at the SPYF Molendinar Community Centre Cafe, whether that be in hospitality or in further education.

Additionally, the Training Cafe Manager will be responsible for managing a team member who will look after the cafe during late afternoon and evening shifts, ensuring that all cafe protocols are adhered to.

Working closely with staff, Trustees, local authorities, funders and external commercial organisations, the SPYF Training Cafe Manager will work to ensure that a welcoming learning space operates for the benefit of, not only young people and local residents, but people throughout Glasgow.

Thanks to funding from Glasgow City Council’s Place Fund, this post is funded for 2 years with a view to extend this subject to further funding.
