Are you excited to make a real difference in the local community?  Our role of Foodbank Manager has overall responsibility for the operation of the foodbank, ensuring that we are able to meet the needs of clients facing food poverty crisis.

About Slough Foodbank

Slough Foodbank is a charity whose object is the prevention or relief of poverty in the United Kingdom, mainly in Slough and the surrounding area, in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to individuals in need, as motivated by the principles of the Christian Faith.

Slough Foodbank believes that no one in the community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ worth of nutritionally balanced, emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. In 2024, we gave out 12,147 food parcels.  Sadly, this is almost double the number in given out in 2020.  In addition to providing food and basic toiletries, we try to understand the situation of the people referred to us so that we can signpost them to other organisations where appropriate, in order to give a helping hand through a crisis.

Job purpose

We’re seeking someone who is called to lead through great teamwork, enabling us to continue serving our clients well, and fostering an environment of ‘can do’ and care.  Our reach is culturally diverse and you’ll work with people who have varied experiences. You will have an eye for detail and be keen to see improvement across all areas of our work whilst recognising and embracing that the Foodbank is coordinated by a small team of employees and key volunteers who are supported by more than 100 volunteers.  Are you the person we're looking for?

Main duties & Responsibilities

· Primary contact for our parent organisation, Trussell

· Accountable to the Trustees, who have ultimate accountability for the Foodbank
