Employment vacancies at An Tearmann
Readers of the Diary will be very familiar with the community’s coffee shop, which delivers a unique café experience to the public, because it is a direct interface between customers and several members with special needs from The Bridge Camphill Community. It provides a meaningful and harmonious work environment for people with intellectual disabilities.
The ideal candidates will have hands-on front of house experience in a busy café or deli environment, with a passion for hospitality. They will have excellent interpersonal skills, a dynamic personality, be customer focused and have confidence in dealing with the public.
Experience or an aptitude to work alongside people with intellectual disabilities and/or mental health issues is equally important. The ability to support people and positively manage behaviours that challenge in the context of a busy coffee shop is essential — it is a key part of our ethos to be aware of and accommodate the needs of others.
Both positions are for a 5-day working week of 33 hours, including Saturdays. Hourly rate will start from €13, depending on experience.
Please direct all enquiries to Ben Gamble at 045-481597.
Applications will only be accepted by email to thebridge@camphill.ie with letter of application and CV attached. Camphill is an equal opportunity employer. All positions will be subject to Garda Vetting.
Closing Date for applications will be noon on Monday 3 October 2016. Candidates shortlisted for interview will receive notification by 5 October for interviews being held between 7-12 October.
