What it's like to work here

Aira Force waterfall is one of the Lake District's most striking landmarks, attracting around 200,000 visitors each year, with the café providing refreshments to those exploring the area. You'll be joining a friendly, welcoming team who work brilliantly together to create a positive atmosphere, and we're confident you'll enjoy being part of it.

We want to help you look after the things that matter to you, such as saving for your future, getting a discount on your weekly shop, or encouraging you to find a work-life balance.

What you'll be doing
As a Team Leader, you'll be giving day-to-day support to your team, to make sure they're consistently giving great service to everyone who comes to the café. This is a busy, lively place to work, so you'll need to be adaptable. Your focus will be front of house, dealing directly with people and serving them food and drink. Crucial to this role will be your love of working with people, your positive 'can-do' attitude and your desire to provide an outstanding service.
Using your excellent eye for detail, you'll make sure all displays and signs are accurate, and that the food is looking good. At times, you may need to help the kitchen team with preparing food. You'll also be supervising the induction and training of colleagues, to help build a team that's dedicated to great service and to giving people a day to remember.
We'll give you an induction that fits the job, and training in allergens and food safety, plus any mentoring needed to help you in your role. You can sign up for further professional training and development if you wish.
