Werkplaats is a place where all routes meet. Where working hard usually leads to playing harder. The crossroads of artists, entrepreneurs and the business city suits. Work with no office and a coffee with no filter. A place to let ideas flow, and if you are ready to share them with the world, hire a room big enough to.

We are looking for a new Assistant Manager for Werkplaats. Werkplaats – on the ground floor of Volkshotel – is a large cafe with a terrace and workplaces. It is a meeting place where many different people come together. Werkplaats has two faces: during the day it is a place for coffee lovers and in the evening you can come over for a wide range of (special) beers. There are also events regularly, from a photography market to speed dating and live jazz performances.

Responsibilities:

• You are jointly responsible for the organization, recruitment and motivation of the Werkplaats team;
• You create a good atmosphere in the cafe and come up with ideas for renewal or improvement of the existing range in terms of assortment and programme;
• You guarantee quality and cleanliness in the workplace (HACCP) and behind the scenes;
• You manage the daily activities in Werkplaats and during events;
• You realize qualitative and quantitative objectives such as labor productivity and turnover;
• You train, guide, motivate and coach employees.

What we ask:

• You have relevant work experience in a managerial position;
• You live in the Amsterdam region;
• You speak Dutch and English;
• You can communicate clearly and set up standard working methods;
• You are stress-resistant, a hard worker and not afraid to roll up your sleeves;
• You are enthusiastic and a team player.

We find it important that our team is as diverse as Amsterdam itself and are building towards a diverse and inclusive workforce. Therefore we encourage everyone who recognizes themselves in our vacancies to respond.

What we offer:

A full-time position (34 to 38 hours) in an informal and inspiring working environment, including young, enthusiastic colleagues and salary based on horeca cao. After your shift you can always take a dip in our hot tubs and sauna on the eighth floor or join a yoga class. You can use this for free. Not home yet? You don't have to. As an employee you get a discount on everything (programming, rooms, food and drinks) in the hotel and a free hotel night every year. You can also count on the following: lunch or evening meal during your shift, an extra day off, drinks with colleagues and the Volks birthday party every year.
