Join our team: Operations and Projects Worker

Manchester Central Foodbank are pleased to be recruiting to the position of Operations and Projects Worker. The role will play a key part in the day-to-day running of operations, from frontline and client-facing work to recruiting, supervising and supporting volunteers, assisting with stock and logistics activities and deliveries, and leading and supporting a range of projects.

A central part of this diverse, hands-on role is leading and supporting foodbank sessions, with extensive engagement with foodbank clients and primary responsibility for supervising, supporting and developing volunteers.

The role is a part-time role, aiming for 21.5 hours per week, which becomes permanent on successful completion of a three-month probationary period. It is partially flexible with fixed core hours, and occasional evening and weekend work required.

Manchester Central Foodbank is a busy Trussell Trust-affiliated food bank, with centres in Central, North, and East Manchester. We were established in Ardwick in 2013 by students at the Manchester Universities’ Catholic Chaplaincy, making us the first student-led food bank in the country. Since then we have grown significantly, expanding our weekly sessions into Harpurhey and Openshaw.

Our core aims are to deliver the best quality support that we can to the largest number of our neighbours in need, while working with partners and influencing and organising at a neighbourhood and citywide level to reduce and end the need for food banks in Manchester.
