Job description

Hours: Full time, 37.5 hours per week

Location: Hybrid working between Vauxhall, London (3 days in the office per week) and home

Contract: Permanent

Do you want to work with a multiple charity of the year winner? We are FoodCycle, and our vision is to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community. We connect communities, reducing loneliness and food poverty – working with thousands of volunteers and surplus food to help everyone who needs us. By creating welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life to meet, eat and have conversations, we are supporting people’s health and mental wellbeing.

You will support our mission by ensuring efficient office operations and maintaining a safe and organized work environment. You will have the opportunity to liaise with all levels of the organisation, from the CEO to the volunteers who work at our community meals. No two days will be the same, and tasks will range from organising travel for regional teams, sending out equipment to support new Projects launches, and answering the main office telephone to supporting larger projects like our annual guest surveys.

You will have the opportunity to improve processes and seek efficiencies. You will be an excellent communicator, with great organisational skills and previous experience in an office environment. You will be confident answering phone calls, including from vulnerable people, and be able to work on various projects at once. This is a hybrid role, with 3 days a week at our Head Office, so you will need to live within a one hour commute of Vauxhall, London.

Benefits: We offer 26.5 days holiday plus bank holidays, and additional holiday for length of service (pro-rata for part-time). Our healthcare package allows staff to claim money back on healthcare bills and includes access to telephone counselling and online GP appointments.

Deadline for your application:  11.59pm on Sunday 16th February 2025.

Interview process: Shortlisted candidates will need to complete a 30 minute task prior to being invited to interview. We will shortlist applications as they come in, so we recommend applying early.

Interviews: planned for Wednesday 19th February 2025.

Inclusivity: FoodCycle is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.

Safeguarding: Safeguarding is Everyone’s business – FoodCycle is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare / wellbeing of children, young people and adults at risk. This role will therefore require a satisfactory Basic DBS check.

Please note that you will need to have existing Right to Work in the UK to apply for this role. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship.
