We are recruiting for Coffee Bar – Pastoral Support Worker & Coffee Bar Coordinator – 27 hours/week
Much more than a café, Holy Trinity’s Coffee Bar provides a welcoming, supportive and affirming space for all. Set right at the heart of Warrington’s town centre, Coffee Bar has provided a cherished place of community, friendship and belonging for almost 40 years. Most of the people we support live with poverty, disadvantage, discrimination, social isolation and/or chronic health conditions. If you haven’t visited us before, please watch this video to get a flavour of who we are and what we do.
While we do the practical stuff of making refreshments, our primary role is to provide pastoral and practical care to anyone crossing our threshold – be it our popular craft table, emergency supplies, helping with forms & phone calls or accompanying people to meetings.
We think strategically, work collaboratively with statutory agencies and other VCFSEs to widen our doors and to support more people. Our success in supporting some of Warrington’s most vulnerable and hard-to-reach people attracts others to work with us to meet the needs of our community.
Over the years, we have achieved a huge amount through our dedicated staff, trustee and volunteer team. Since Covid, we have strengthened our control environment, expanded our offering and recruited new team members. We have consolidated our local knowledge, extended our training and continually foster partnership working. We were recently awarded five years’ funding by The National Lottery Community Fund in recognition of Coffee Bar’s impact. This will help ensure Coffee Bar continues to respond to and meet the changing needs of our community while navigating Warrington’s evolving “Living Well” & “Community Led Support” landscape. If you think this role is calling you, read on!
Holy Trinity’s mission is “Reflecting the love of Christ in the heart of Warrington”. Coffee Bar is one of our key contact points with our town. Because of our location, we serve people with a variety of wants or needs and a whole range of viewpoints. Coffee Bar attracts a variety of participants – a mix of regulars, less frequent guests and people simply passing through Warrington; some who just want a drink, some looking for company or a listening ear and some who come in need of practical or pastoral support.
We believe God’s vision for Coffee Bar is to be a place of wellbeing and community which strives for justice for the people we serve. We want to recruit someone who shares our vision for social justice, who loves being present with people without trying to “fix” them, all while managing the practical aspects of running a thriving community café. You will have opportunities to talk to people about Jesus and to demonstrate His love for them in action. You will coordinate and nurture our team of volunteers, and help to develop what we do and how we work so we can support more people in more ways.
We’d love to hear from people who are excited by this opportunity to be a key participant in the next chapter of Coffee Bar’s story and Holy Trinity’s mission of reflecting the love of Christ in the heart of Warrington.
As a significant part of the role involves sharing your faith (evangelism) and bringing a Christian perspective to pastoral issues, there is a Genuine Occupational Requirement under the Equality Act 2010 that applicants are members of a church that belongs to Churches Together.
