Possobilities Cafe Assistant.

Over the last 33 years, Possobilities has developed into one of the most respected voluntary organisations in Glasgow. We have a proven track record of offering support and respite to disabled and vulnerable people in our community.

We’re all about promoting independent living.

We give members with disabilities access to the resources they require and support them to grow, learn and develop so that they can achieve their goals within society rather than feel isolated in their own homes. Our purpose-built centre at Possobilities gives them confidence to grow in a safe environment at their own pace while also encouraging them to try new things.


Possobilities cafe is the heart of our community centre, we work hard to ensure that anyone who visits feels welcome. We provide a safe place for people to eat and drink. If you joined our team you would instantly feel a sense of belonging.


As a volunteer, your tasks at the beginning will vary day to day as we like our volunteers to experience different areas off the cafe, this allows us, and you to discover what you like to do and also encourages you to explore areas which you might feel you want to develop more skills in.


We use a person centred approach when we recruit our volunteers this ensures you gain from volunteering. if you have specific goals in mind you want to reach then we will work with you and support you to reach these goals.
Day to day duties for volunteers at our community cafe are
-food preparation
-serving customers
-cleaning

Our cafe is open Monday - Friday 9.30am till 1.30pm
