About this Role
We love volunteers! They make things happen, and without them we could not do what we do and would be limited in our impact.

Pantries are about so much more than food - they give members of the community confidence, improved physical health and mental wellbeing.
What You’ll Be Doing:
You’ll be the first point of contact for members of the public and service providers—primarily through face-to-face interactions, with occasional communication via email.
You’ll help new and existing members understand how the Pantry operates, assist with sign-ups, and guide people toward other helpful local resources and services.
You’ll help maintain a tidy and well-organized Pantry by rotating stock,
checking deliveries, completing daily checklists, and supporting with manual
handling when needed.
You’ll play a key role in spreading the word—encouraging new memberships and
sharing information about upcoming workshops, events, and courses in the
community.
Desirable Criteria:
Level 2 Food Safety Certificate
(or willing to complete our free in-house training)
Level 2 Retail qualification
About You:
- Experience working directly with customers in
a face-to-face setting.
- You remain positive, approachable, and calm—even
during busy periods.
- You're comfortable using basic computer programs
like Microsoft Word and Excel.
- You're a team player who takes pride in going the
extra mile to support others.
- Free training and ongoing development
opportunities.
- The chance to gain new skills and qualifications.
- An opportunity to make a real difference in your
local community.
