Great coffee. Big Impact.
Looking for an opportunity to build your hospitality experience, grow a diverse skillset and be part of a café with a purpose? Look no further!
The Little Social is Youth Projects’ social enterprise café. Alongside serving great coffee and food, our cafés create opportunities for young people to gain practical experience, develop workplace skills and take meaningful steps towards employment.
We’re looking for entry level hospitality staff with high energy and great customer service/interpersonal skills. If this sounds like you, apply today!
This role is based across multiple locations, such as: Footscray hospital, Wyndham law Courts, Port Melbourne and other inner city locations
This could be a great fit if you:
Hospitality or barista experience may be helpful for some opportunities, but you do not need to have everything figured out before expressing your interest.
At The Little Social you’re serving more than just a hot drink on a cold morning, you’re giving the community the power to contribute to a wider cause, one that they believe in! We are looking beyond the cup of coffee in front of us and using our platform as a tool to empower young people to lead meaningful lives. Each young person has a platform at The Little Social to build self-confidence, gain key employability skills and genuine work experience in a supportive and judgement free environment.
The Little Social is powered by Youth Projects - an independent, registered charity who provides front line support to individuals and young people experiencing disadvantage, homelessness, unemployment, alcohol and other drug issues through a range of holistic and wrap around support services. Youth Projects is on a mission to provide high impact support, without judgement, full stop.
Why join us?
Working at The Little Social means being part of something bigger than a café job. You’ll join a passionate team where coffee, food, and community come together, and every shift supports life-changing work through Youth Projects.
