The work of the Open Door Café Porter involves both important physical tasks as well as relationship building at The Open Door Café and the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. The applicant must be creative, responsible, committed and dedicated. He/she must serve as a role model to our guests by displaying positive behavior and values. The duties may be physically demanding and the Porter must show a high level of energy and enthusiasm towards the work. Teamwork is also important as team members often have different responsibilities assigned to them and must coordinate among themselves and multitask. The Porter is supervised by the director of social justice and outreach and the rector/pastor.
