Lend a Hand and Make Our Café a Great Place to Be!
Love making people smile? Fancy helping out in a warm, welcoming café? Join us as a Volunteer Café Assistant and help serve up tasty treats, warm drinks, and good vibes to visitors, staff, and the people we support. Whether you're retired, between jobs, studying, or just want to give a little of your time, we'd love to hear from you!
We're looking for volunteers who can give a few hours a week-the cafe is open Monday to Friday from 8am until 2pm -we'll work around what suits you best.
At TouchBase Glasgow, we support children and adults with complex needs to live their best lives. The centre, located in Kinning Park, offers a bright and welcoming environment where people can enjoy arts, music, physical activities, and social events. It's a place that fosters independence, builds confidence, and creates a strong sense of community. The café is a key part of this friendly atmosphere, providing a space for connection and relaxation.
We're currently looking for Volunteer Café Assistants to support this fantastic space.
Volunteering with us is a great way to:
- Meet new people and make connections
- Learn (or brush up on) food and drink service skills
- Build your confidence in a friendly, supportive environment
- Gain new skills and experience to add to your CV
- Feel good knowing you're doing something meaningful and rewarding
- Be part of a team that makes a real difference to the lives of the people we support
- Enjoy plenty of smiles, chat, and the occasional cuppa along the way!
Plus-you'll get a free Sense Scotland volunteer t-shirt!
What You'll Be Doing
- Depending on your interests and confidence, you might help with:
- Taking customer orders with a smile
- Using a card machine and taking cash as payments
- Preparing and serving teas, coffees, breakfasts, lunches and light snacks
- Keeping tables and counters clean and tidy
- Chatting with customers and making everyone feel welcome
- Supporting people we work with to learn café skills (if you'd like!)
Who We're Looking For
You don't need café experience-just a friendly attitude and a willingness to help. If you're approachable, reliable, and enjoy being around people, you'll fit right in! Full guidance and support will be provided.
