You will join a dedicated team of volunteers providing support around deliveries and collection, helping to unload deliveries and ensuring food is correctly stored. You will support the Pantry Coordinator ensuring the shop is well stocked, clean and presentable and that all foods are correctly labelled and within the given use by date. You will assist customers to choose their shopping items and, on occasion, offer meal planning advice along with recipes and food shopping tips.

Welcoming clients in a polite and friendly manner will be an essential part of the role, as well as understanding the challenges they face in attending a social supermarket.

You will have:

  • Knowledge of basic food hygiene and stock rotation principle
  • Awareness of food preparation with the ability to advise others on how to cook on a budget
  • The ability to be a flexible and co-operative member of a team
  • Good communication skills.

Please note this role requires that successful candidates must undergo a Basic DBS check, on the basis that the post involves contact with vulnerable participants and colleagues.

To apply please request an application form from our HR Team, via the apply button, stating the job title and ref number.

We will be reviewing applications on a weekly basis and so encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.
