Job Summary

We currently have a number of vacancies for highly motivated individuals to join us as Volunteer Pantry Workers in our Pantries across London.

We operate 5 pantries in London which act as Social Supermarkets – they are designed to look and feel like a regular shop but provide food at an affordable cost of just £3.50 a week. The pantries offer a responsive, sustainable route out of poverty, ensuring people can access healthy food while getting the support they need.

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

We are an equity and inclusion confident employer.

We value the empowering and informative impact that all lived experiences and diversity of thought can offer the organisation.

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

We are hiring on an ongoing basis, so please submit your applications early as we have more than one role vacancy.
