Central Lancashire Primary Care Trust is pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for interested parties to provide a café service for patients and visitors attending the Long Term Conditions Centre and for professionals working in the Centre.

The café will be situated in the Long Term Conditions Centre at the front of the building. The Centre is being developed in partnership with Preston North End FC and is one of Central Lancashire Primary Care Trust's major healthcare facility developments for the future.

Central Lancashire Primary Care Trust is looking for an experienced café provider from the independent or voluntary sector to run the café facility and provide fresh, healthy, quality foodstuffs at affordable prices to the local community.
