About the Role

This is a people-focused role at the heart of our organisation. Working alongside the existing team you will recruit, support and coordinate volunteers, ensuring they have a positive and rewarding experience while helping us deliver essential services to our community.

Ensure compliance with health and safety, food hygiene and safeguarding procedures.
Work collaboratively with staff, volunteers and community partners.

About You

An excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
Confident coordinating people, volunteers or teams.
Organised and able to manage competing priorities.
Comfortable using email, spreadsheets and digital systems.
Committed to supporting people with dignity and respect.
Able to travel between foodbank sites as required.

Essential

Desirable

GCSE English and Maths (or equivalent).
Experience in the charity, voluntary or community sector.

Knowledge of food hygiene and safe manual handling.
Experience using databases or CRM systems.
Full UK driving licence.

Why Join Us?

You'll join a dedicated team making a real difference to people across North Tyneside. This is an opportunity to help shape and develop a thriving volunteer community while supporting an organisation committed to compassion, dignity, collaboration and sustainability.

There are regular opportunities for additional paid hours beyond the contracted 16 hours per week, particularly during community events, food collections, seasonal campaigns and periods of increased demand.
