🍽️ WE’RE HIRING IN CIRENCESTER!

We’re looking for two warm, reliable and curious people to join our team at The Long Table Cirencester.

These are hybrid Front of House & Kitchen Team Member roles - so you might be welcoming guests, serving lunch, making drinks, talking about the food, helping with prep, washing up, supporting the pass, or keeping the restaurant and kitchen running smoothly.

It’s a role for people who like food, people, teamwork, and mucking in wherever needed.

The details:

✨ 2 permanent part-time roles
⏰ 12 hours per week
💷 £12.71 per hour
📍 The Long Table Cirencester
📅 Weekend working required
🍽️ Start date: ASAP

Experience in cafés, kitchens, restaurants or barista work would be helpful, but it isn’t essential. Attitude, reliability, curiosity and willingness to learn matter most.

If you want to be part of a team putting good food, access and community at the centre, we’d love to hear from you.

📩 Apply by Wednesday 3rd June at 5pm
Email your CV and a short note to:

Sanctuary Space Hire 🙌

Our Sanctuary is a light-filled, spacious room that naturally adapts to a wide range of uses. Recently, it was home to a joyful children’s birthday party, just one example of its flexibility. At its heart, this is a welcoming space designed to bring people together, fostering creativity, connection, and shared fun!
