      During my role I was responsible for a 60-seat café, and it’s staff. I organised the rota on a day-to-day basis, including finding cover for vacant staff. I also introduced a series of training documents for staff members to improve the quality of service and products we were serving. Throughout this role I established tact, active listening and problem solving skills. I left this position to volunteer with The Leap.

      Marks & Spencer is renowned for its great service, positive attitude and high standards. I worked in Cafe Revive, occasionally doing extra shifts in the food hall and ladies ware sections of the store. I learnt how to work fast and efficiently under pressure, the importance of teamwork and to always give great service. I held a positive attitude with my colleagues at all levels and always maintained a high standard of work. Marks & Spencer is renowned for its great service, positive attitude and high standards.
