Assistant Manager
Do you thrive in fast-paced hospo environment and love supporting teams to do their best work?
At Redemption Roasters, we believe great coffee can change lives. Our mission is to reduce reoffending by training people in prison and supporting them into work on release – often in our own cafés.
We’re looking for a full-time Assistant Manager to help lead our Holborn coffee shop.
You’ll support your manager day-to-day, lead brilliant shifts, and help build a team that delivers fantastic hospitality and real social impact.
You Will:
- Support the Coffee Shop Manager in leading day-to-day operations, stepping up to lead the café in their absence.
- Motivate and guide your team through busy shifts, setting the tone for excellent hospitality, product quality, and pace.
- Uphold standards by coaching in the moment, sharing clear, constructive feedback, and helping team members grow in skill and confidence.
- Work across all areas of the café – from barista to kitchen – leading by example.
- Take responsibility for stock, cleanliness, and compliance on shift, ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely.
- Reinforce our mission and values, helping programme participants and newer team members feel supported, included, and set up for success.
- Communicate effectively with your Manager, sharing insights and ideas to help drive team performance and engagement.
