We are delighted to announce we are recruiting a new part-time role for Coffee Bar – Capacity Building, Partnerships & Funding Coordinator – 20 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.
While we do the practical stuff of making refreshments, our primary role is to provide pastoral and practical care to anyone crossing our threshold – listening, caring, connecting, community, craft table, emergency supplies, helping people with forms and phone calls, accompanying them to meetings.
We think strategically, work collaboratively with statutory agencies and other VCFSEs to widen our doors and to support more people, and our success in supporting some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach people in Warrington attracts others to work with us to meet the needs of our community.
Why do we need a Capacity Building, Partnerships & Funding Coordinator?
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. But there is more to do. We want to build capacity, enhance our collaborative working model and improve financial resilience so that Coffee Bar is sustainable and continues to respond to and meet the changing needs of our community. If you think this role is calling you, please read on.
Holy Trinity’s mission is “Reflecting the love of Christ in the heart of Warrington” and 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 mix of regulars, less frequent guests and people simply passing through Warrington; some who just want a drink, others seeking community, belonging & pastoral support, and others in need of practical support.
We believe God’s vision for Coffee Bar is to be a place of wellbeing, belonging and community which strives for justice for the people we serve. We want to recruit someone who shares our vision for social justice, and who brings skills and experience to strengthen our team. This new role will be core to developing what we do and how we work.
We’d love to hear from people who are excited by this opportunity to increase Coffee Bar’s effectiveness, sustainability and resilience, equipping Coffee Bar for growth and supporting Holy Trinity’s mission of reflecting the love of Christ in the heart of Warrington.
The closing date for applications for this role is 24th February 2025. More details about the role including salary, hours and the application process can be found below. If you would like any more information, please contact us at jobs@htwarrington.org.uk.
