Can you lead and grow an award winning charity?

We are Olive Branch Aid (OBA), an award-winning Foodbank charity operating in south London, and we are looking for a dynamic and confident Foodbank Manager to work alongside our newly appointed Foodbank Coordinator as well as an energetic team of more than 60 volunteers.

OBA is different

OBA provides a hand-up rather than a hand-out. More than a Foodbank, OBA provides support for 3 months - much longer than most Foodbanks. We also provide an innovative well-being support service that helps service users address the underlying causes of their food needs. In 2024, OBA helped more than 75 households with complex underlying issues, this involved many weeks of telephone calls and meetings and helped prevent at least five families from becoming homeless. OBA also provides free preloved clothing and household goods to help service users get back on their feet.

Since 2023, OBA has its own fully funded premises off Portslade Road next to the Windrush overground station. Despite these successes, we continue to rely entirely on donations for our day to day expenses. As Foodbank Manager, you will help us secure the funding to grow our services and help even more people. 

You will bring:

• A strong track record of fundraising and networking across public and private organisations

• The ability to articulate a clear compelling vision to our stakeholders and funders

• The ability to develop and implement  effective operational procedures to deliver our goals

• The authority to lead a values driven organisation in a collaborative and inclusive manner

• The opportunity to work with a dynamic, ambitious Board of Trustees

• A fully funded business plan with exciting growth opportunities

• A fully funded position complete with NIC and workplace pension

• A diverse, stable and energetic team of volunteers 

If you have questions, please contact Sonya Antoniou-Pamment, Chair of Trustees, for an initial informal chat. We are also happy for you to pop in and see the Foodbank in operation however, as OBA is not open every day, please contact Sonya to arrange a suitable time.

If you would like to apply, please send a covering letter (no more than 2 pages) telling us a little about yourself and how you meet the skills and experience requirements listed in the Job Description. Please include a CV (again no more than 2 pages) and don’t forget to include a contact email and telephone number. The deadline is Friday 22 August 2025. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Mission Without Borders is an international Christian organization working in six of the poorest countries in Europe. Our Mission is to journey with the poor and marginalized, bringing practical and spiritual support with hope of a better future, enabling and encouraging people to lift themselves out of poverty.

Whether it is a hot meal for a homeless person, a homework club for a struggling pupil or seeds for a father who wants to grow vegetables for his family. We support families and children through our sponsorship programs by providing after school clubs and investing in sustainable businesses to get them back on their feet. We provide emotional support to those who need it most, working through issues that could be holding them back, such as conflict, past trauma or addiction. 

We respect the dignity of the individual and help develop self-sufficiency and a sustainable future. We serve people without regard to their religion or ethnic background. 

Mission Without Borders International leads and co-ordinates the work of the six countries in Eastern Europe where we carry out our project work, and 12 countries where we raise support.

ROLE PURPOSE

You will be part of a team helping to transform lives by enabling young people to manage their licenses and move towards greater independence within the community. This role requires knowledge of supporting individuals with complex needs using trauma-informed approaches and working in a Psychologically Informed Environment. The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

GENUINE OCCUPATIONAL REQUIREMENT

In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1, it is a genuine occupational requirement (GOR) that the post holder is female. This requirement is essential for the role due to the following reasons:

1. Privacy and Dignity: The role involves working closely with female residents during sensitive hours (evenings, nights, and weekends) where privacy and dignity are paramount. Female residents may feel uncomfortable or distressed receiving support from a male/male presenting worker during these times, especially in situations involving personal care or emotional vulnerability.

2. Safety and Trust: Many of the residents may have experienced trauma, including domestic violence or abuse, often perpetrated by males. The presence of a female manager helps create a safe and supportive environment where these individuals can feel secure and trust the support being provided.

3. Legitimate Aim: The requirement ensures that the MPMT can maintain its commitment to providing gender-sensitive services tailored to the needs of vulnerable females. This aligns with the legitimate aim of protecting residents’ well-being and mental health.

4. Proportionality: The occupational requirement is a proportionate means of achieving the legitimate aim, as it directly addresses the needs of residents in a way that cannot be achieved through alternative measures, such as reallocating duties or employing male/male presenting staff for this role.

This GOR has been carefully considered to ensure compliance with legal standards under the Equality Act 2010 and is applied only where it is essential for fulfilling the primary responsibilities of this specific role.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Completion of an enhanced DBS check before employment.
• Provision of two professional referees.
