(No management experience? That’s okay. The right mindset matters more.)

Some people walk into a café and see tables and chairs.

Others feel the rhythm, notice the people and understand what needs doing next.

If you’re the second kind — keep reading.

We’re looking for a new Assistant Manager, who can lead shifts with energy, a positive attitude and commitment to getting the best out of people and delivering the best to our guests.

You don’t need to come with a management title already on your resume. What matters most to us is who you are, we can teach you the rest.

This role is for you if you:

Thrive in busy, high-energy environments

Take pride in doing things properly, even when it’s hectic

Step in to help without being asked

Stay calm, positive, and solutions-focused under pressure

Care deeply about how our guests feel, not just what they’re served

You might have worked in fast food, retail, a café, a deli, a restaurant — or somewhere completely different where teamwork, pace, and resilience mattered. If you’ve been the person others rely on, we can teach you the rest.

What you’ll actually be doing:

Leading shifts from the floor, not the office

Supporting and motivating a diverse team during busy service

Jumping in wherever needed — at the till, the kitchen, or on the floor

Maintaining the high standards Dôme is known for — every day, every shift

You won’t be thrown in the deep end alone. We provide structured training, ongoing coaching, and real support to help you grow into the role.

What we offer:

Permanent full time employment (5 shifts per week)

Hands-on leadership development and mentoring

A workplace built on respect, fairness,



and teamwork

A role where effort is noticed, growth is encouraged, and people matter.

This is not the role for you if:

You prefer slow days or predictable routines

You don’t enjoy being on your feet and on the floor

You shy away from responsibility when things get busy

But if you’re ready to step up, learn fast, and be part of something that genuinely values its people — we’d love to meet you.

What started out as a specialty coffee roasting business in the mid-1980s has been lovingly nurtured into what we see today – a unique community café experience, known to everyone as Dôme.

Three founders – Phil May, Patria Jafferies and Phil Sexton – played a key role in getting the café business off the ground.

Before Dôme was born, Mr May was a triple jump Olympian in the 1970s, while Ms Jafferies and Mr Sexton were co-founders of the Matilda Bay Brewing Company in Australia. It was this small group of people and their passion that laid the early foundations which formed the Dôme brand.

When Phil May made the decision to move on from his sporting career, he bought this really beautiful French antique roaster in Melbourne and shipped it to Perth and started roasting. His business, Western Roast Coffee, started supplying Matilda Bay Brewery,



where Patria worked and it was then that they dreamed up the idea of the Dôme coffee concept.

With Phil May cracking the very first roast on his old machine some 30 years ago, the first Dôme café then opened in 1991 in Cottesloe. Fast forward to today and you will find more than 130 Dôme cafés operating in six countries. Source: this is an extract from the company’s own website.
