VIERNULVIER seeks dishwasher/kitchen help

The VIERNULVIER Café is the beating heart of our house and a special place where something can be experienced every day. In our arts center, we create, present, and reflect with a social commitment.

This is a new position within the hospitality team. After a period of three months, we will review together how the position is going and what the further possibilities are. An extension is certainly possible!
