Working with us

Thanks for your interest in working with us!

5th March 2025

We are hiring a Cafe Manager.  As a Cafe Manager, you’ll be working an 30 hours a week across 3 working days with optional additional hours.

The role would suit someone with managerial experience, who is looking to work with us and our amazing feline family on a long term basis, is passionate about hospitality and wants to create a memorable experience for visitors in a fast paced and extremely dynamic workplace.

Salary for this role is competitive.

What’s the role like? Unfortunately it’s not playing with cats all day. There’s a bit of cat play, a lot of customer service, cleaning and cat care. You are there as the cats’ advocate, to make sure they’re safe and happy. As a manager you need to ensure the cafe’s rules are adhered to whilst making sure guests feel welcome and comfortable: it can be a tricky balance. You should be confident around cats and handling them. We have incredibly high standards of cleaning and this is a big part of the role. An ideal candidate would be highly organised, good at using their initiative, comfortable enforcing house rules and motivated by what can be a physically demanding role. A strong grasp of social media is beneficial. Barista and/or cat care experience is a bonus, but not essential. You must have visited us already so if you haven’t visited then book a session before applying.  You must also live in Edinburgh or close by.

Some benefits of the role include a truly inclusive family environment where everybody is welcome, courses and training opportunities, a paid day off on your birthday after one year’s service, team social events and of course getting to know and love our feline family too.

If this sounds like you then this is what we want you to do:

Check out the application form here. Send us a video (no longer than 5 minutes) of you answering the questions in the application form. Send the video, together with a short cover letter and your CV to [email protected].

Closing date is 19th March 2024, we cannot accept applications after this date.

If you have previously applied you are welcome to apply again, we will always consider your application afresh.
