Community Café Chef Mentor

Our Bradbury Café is more than just a place to eat; it is a safe, welcoming space where people can come for an affordable, nutritious meal, particularly during times of hardship, and feel part of a supportive community. 

It is also a place where young trainees can build confidence, develop skills, and grow, supporting everyone on their journey, using food, teamwork, and everyday experiences as tools for positive change across the East Marsh of Grimsby. 

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role within our community café, helping to create a welcoming space where people can build skills, confidence, and independence. Our Café Mentor will support the day-to-day running of the café, including preparing and serving food and drinks, providing excellent customer service, and maintaining a clean, safe, and organised environment.

Alongside this, you will work closely with young trainees offering hands-on guidance and informal training as they learn practical café and life skills cumulating in a certificate of competence. A key part of the role is mentoring individuals from a range of backgrounds, many of whom may be working towards greater independence or employability. You will help them develop skills such as communication, teamwork, timekeeping, and customer service, while encouraging confidence and a sense of achievement.

You will also contribute to creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels supported and valued, working as part of the wider YMCA Humber team to support personal development and community engagement within the café.
