Posted on by

We have two exciting opportunities to join the Love’s Farm House team!

Love’s Farm House is looking for a General Manager to take day-to-day responsibility for the building, and an Administration Assistant to provide general administrative support.

Love’s Farm House is a busy community centre on the Love’s Farm development in St Neots, serving the community of Love’s Farm and the wider area. It is managed by a charity called Love’s Farm Community Centre CIO, which was set up by local residents specifically to run the building on behalf of the local community.

Love’s Farm House offers a varied timetable of activities, a cafe and bar, as well as private hire for parties, meetings and events. The foyer is open to the public during our opening hours and offers a Micro Library and free wi-fi. The cafe and bar sessions are registered Community Warm Spaces under Huntingdonshire District Council’s Community Spaces scheme.

An opportunity has arisen for a part-time General Manager to take day to day responsibility for the building, reporting to the Board of Trustees. The successful candidate will have a friendly, customer service focused attitude to ensure that Love’s Farm House is a welcoming environment for everyone in our community, strong leadership skills to manage a small team of staff, be highly organised and have a good knowledge of the health & safety framework within which any public building must operate.

The General Manager will have the opportunity to put their stamp on the building, working closely with the Board of Trustees to implement a strategy for the future of Love’s Farm House, including assisting with the organisation and marketing of fundraising events, identifying and writing funding applications, and marketing opportunities for new hirers and activities.

We are also looking for a part-time Administration Assistant to support the General Manager and Bar Manager of Love’s Farm House. The role will be for 6-8 hours per week, working for at least two days per week in the Love’s Farm House office.

It will involve general administrative tasks such as bookings, finance, stock control and events admin, as well as providing some reception services for the building. The role would suit someone who is friendly, welcoming and highly organised, with some administration experience and a good level of IT literacy.
