Food Allocations Coordinator

You’ll take ownership for the smooth running of the Allocations office, supervising the safe distribution of surplus food to our Community Food Members by staff and volunteers in a busy operation with lots of moving parts.

By working closely with the Warehouse team and delivery drivers, you’ll help ensure timely, accurate and food safe compliant deliveries and collections, optimising our income whilst minimising food waste.

To be a success in this role, you’ll need to have experience in a busy office or operational environment, great communication skills, and experience supervising and motivating staff.  You can adapt to regularly changing priorities, are happy to get involved where needed and constantly review daily targets to keep the team on track.  Ideally you’ll have some experience with volunteers (or have volunteering experience yourself), and/or in the not for profit sector working with disadvantaged groups.

We support a wide range of community groups as well as a large number of volunteers who donate their time to support our operation, so you are someone who relates positively to people from a range of backgrounds, skill levels, and levels of motivation.

The role is based onsite at our Warehouse on New Smithfield Market.
