Summary
Job Details
Hunger and poverty are having a detrimental effect on children’s ability to concentrate and engage in their school learning. Hunger often leads to lethargy and sometimes even disruptive behaviour, which ultimately leads to children not engaging in the classroom.
A childcare practitioner working in a Breakfast Café will provide a safe, secure environment before school where all children attending are provided with a healthy breakfast (ranging from cereal, toast, fruit and yoghurts).
Breakfast Cafes are a drop in services and are not a registered childcare provision.

Has understanding and experience working in a catering environment role
Understands dietary and nutritional needs
Organisational Skills
Willing to work as part of a team
Fun, Engaging and adaptable.
