Vacant job

Do you want to make a real difference for people experiencing homelessness, loneliness, or other forms of vulnerability? New Community (Ny Gemenskap) is a non-profit organization that has provided food, warmth, support, and most importantly – human compassion – for over 50 years. We are now looking for a Café Manager for our Café Södermalm located in the Söderhöjden Church at Mariatorget.

About the Role

Café Södermalm is an open meeting place where everyone is welcome, with a special focus on society's most vulnerable. People from diverse backgrounds and with different needs come here. In addition to serving breakfast, we offer clothing and food parcel distribution, music and cultural programs, as well as social support and guidance to other support services. There are three permanent staff members on site, working together with volunteers, interns, and individuals performing community service.

• Working closely with the managers of our other three cafés and engaging in dialogue with the Operations Manager.

The role is largely about human connection – seeing, listening, and building trust.
