This is a part-time role, with the possibility of a job share Ingoldisthorpe, Norfolk

The Well Café is a welcoming community space at the heart of Ingoldisthorpe, created as part of the ministry of St Michael & All Angels Church. Since opening in 2022, it has become a place where neighbours gather for expertly crafted barista coffee, homemade cakes, and genuine connection. Rooted in Christian hospitality, The Well offers warmth, conversation, and care to everyone who walks through the door—whether they come with faith, curiosity, or none at all.

The Barista Evangelist plays a key part in shaping the daily life and ministry of The Well. This part-time role blends excellent café service with a gentle, authentic expression of Christian faith. You will help manage and operate the café, prepare high-quality drinks (training provided), and create a happy, welcoming environment for all. Alongside the practical café work, the role carries a pastoral dimension: offering a listening ear, sharing faith naturally when appropriate, and helping The Well continue to be a place of kindness, and community.
