Community support jobs

Our charity currently operates Three fixed food pantries and a mobile offering at a further four locations within the borough, but we are looking to expand this offering further following a successful round of grant funding.

This role is key to the successful development and operation of the network, ensuring we can reach and support more people in our community.

The role will involve working alongside staff, more than 40 volunteers, and multiple third party agencies to ensure a high quality service is delivered across all locations for our wonderful shoppers

Warrington Foodbank is a charity primarily focussed on the relief of financial hardship amongst people in Warrington and the surrounding area. Particularly, but not exclusively through the provision of food, essential toiletries and household items to individuals and families in need.

We operate the largest crisis food operation within the borough, serving thousands of individuals and families each year who have no other option but to access emergency food supplies.

The charity also delivers an affordable food operation branded as our “Little Shop” pantries and mobile “Vantry”. Our food pantries offer access to high quality, affordable food, with the aim of preventing people from both reaching crisis point by providing more choices to quality food and household items, whilst also giving those who are experiencing crisis a viable, dignified alternative and opportunity to thrive instead of just survive.

The NVR practitioner will work with the parent/care giver predominantly, other members of the family who are impacted or experiencing the abuse from their sibling or grandchild, and if willing, with the young person causing harm.

Job Description

Science communication sits at the heart of everything we do at CSC. In this role, you’ll continue to deliver inspiring STEM engagement first-hand at our venues, while also leading and developing our dynamic team of Science and Weekend Communicators.

Your goal is to ensure that every visitor enjoys a high-quality, meaningful experience — one that stands out as one of the most positive and memorable STEM encounters of their lives. Achieving this means cultivating a team that feels confident, supported, and genuinely excited to come to work each day.

You will foster a collaborative and supportive team culture, taking responsibility for training schedules and rota management. While maintaining a proactive, can-do approach to service delivery, you’ll also keep a close eye on team capacity — raising any concerns and suggesting solutions to management in a timely and constructive way.

Working closely with the Visitor Experience Manager and the Outreach and Innovation Manager, you’ll motivate your team to maintain high standards across all CSC sites and actively encourage visitors to take advantage of engagement opportunities — from membership sign-ups and events to charitable donations and shop visits.

Key Responsibilities

• At both our main Cambridge centre and outreach venues, empower your team to deliver exceptional visitor experiences — creating positive STEM moments that have the power to inspire and transform.

• You are an active member of your team, delivering public, school, and community STEM engagement alongside the Science and Weekend Communicators.

• You take ownership of the Science and Weekend Communicator training calendar, working closely with the Product Development Officer and Visitor Experience Manager to schedule training in areas such as product knowledge, health and safety, and risk mitigation. You ensure strong training coverage across the team, supporting members to attend sessions promptly and make the most of the learning opportunities they provide.

• You take ownership of your team’s rota, oversee their logistics, and ensure their commitment to maintaining clean, organised, low-risk venues and well-prepared science communication kits.

• You work with the Visitor Experience Manager and Outreach and Innovation Manager to plan your team’s activities at least two months in advance, while remaining responsive to any circumstances that require swift rota adjustments.

• You coordinate feedback from your team on stock replenishment for science communication kits and ensure timely communication of these needs to the Delivery and Sales Administrator. 

• Ensure the team is actively discussing and capturing insights about CSC audiences and the effectiveness of our interventions through observation, as well as formal and informal feedback.

• Ensure our venues are kept clean, tidy, and low-risk, with a prompt and effective response to any unforeseen circumstances.

• Ensure the team completes and archives risk assessments, and that any incidents are promptly resolved, handled effectively and considerately, and properly reported.

• Support your team in understanding and managing their capacity during both busy and quieter periods, and encourage individuals to assist the Product and Community Development teams when they have availability.

• Ensure your team is well-versed in how to promote CSC’s products, services, and charitable mission — and that they do so actively and confidently.

• Stay up to date with STEM news and best-in-class science communication practices across the sector.

• Foster a positive team and organisational culture that is open, communicative, considerate, and respectful of others.

• Ensure necessary administrative work is assigned within your team and delivered on time, including:

○  Completion of necessary event organisation planning documents and systems;

○  General reporting and action to ensure the equipment is maintained;

○  General reporting and action to support the maintenance of quality and accuracy of content;

Our vision is a society where everyone has control over their lives and can stay independent, active, and connected to the world around them. Our mission is to provide practical help so that people who need support can live safely and well in their homes and communities. 

We achieve this through a range of vital services focusing on home adaptations, decluttering, exercise falls prevention, digital inclusion, reducing isolation, and providing advice and advocacy. Our values are rooted in equity, empathy, and a strengths-based approach. 

We are a social enterprise as well as a charity, which means we charge for some of our services and use any surplus to help fund our community projects. Our income comes from a variety of sources including contracts, grants and increasingly, individual donations.
