We are looking for someone to refine and co-ordinate our current temporary COVID-19 emergency food relief distribution hub on the ground in Rotherhithe SE16 to ensure that those most at risk of food insecurity locally are getting the essential supplies they need.  This will be followed by planning and managing the transition of these operations to an alternative site over the coming months, in collaboration with local partners.

What we do

Time & Talents is a lively, busy community centre in the heart of Rotherhithe, SE16.  Set in a leafy heritage building, and ‘T&T2’, our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, we offer something for everyone. With a history of 133 years of supporting people of all ages in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, we bring people together for mutual support, fun and friendship, with a wide range of services and activities for older adults, children and families’ projects and volunteering opportunities.

During COVID-19, in partnership with Southwark Council and other food hubs in the Borough, we have been operating a weekly temporary emergency relief food distribution hub from our Old Mortuary building.  With a team of staff and volunteers, we take in deliveries and donations of essential food and hygiene supplies and in turn sort, pack and deliver food parcels to 250 of the most isolated and socio-economically disadvantaged people in the local area.  We are now looking to refine these operations and to transition them to a partner site in Rotherhithe over the coming months.  In the longer team, and in partnership with other local stakeholders, we want to develop a sustainable model that addresses food insecurity locally with dignity, choice and empowerment and connects local people to their community.

The role

In this role, you’ll be;

• Running the weekly food distribution hub (currently operating on Wednesdays and Thursdays)
  • Managing the flow of food through the project to include:
  • Working with partners who donate food to the project
  • Ordering from our suppliers
  • Receiving deliveries and sorting and managing stock
  • Stock rotation
  • Safe storage of high-risk food items

• Assessing and refining current processes and procedures
• Working with clients to shape and improve the service
• Supervising and training volunteers
• Planning and co-ordinating the transition of current operations to a local partner site in partnership with other local community organisations and wider stakeholders
• Managing the day-to-day finances of the project

About you

You are passionate about healthy food and nutritious eating and believe that quality food should be available for everyone.  You’re a problem solver and you get things done. You have strong relationship building skills and build trust and credibility easily. You’re flexible, accountable, take responsibility, are highly organised and skilled in multitasking.

About us

We are an energetic, experienced, and passionate team of 15, with a strong sense of shared purpose and a lively sense of humour. You’ll have the chance to make a big contribution to a growing, ambitious and innovative organisation which has doubled its reach and impact in recent years.

This role is part-time, with flexibility for regular evening and occasional weekend working.

About Grandparents Plus – the kinship care charity Kinship care begins in crisis. A child whose parents are unable to care for them. It’s frightening, painful, confusing. For the child, it can feel like their world is ending.

Instinctively, a loved one steps in – a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or family friend. They are now a kinship carer, bringing up the children they love. There’s no chance to prepare. Plans are pushed aside. Relationships, jobs and savings are sacrificed.

At Grandparents Plus, we know how hard life can be for kinship carers. But we’ve seen the amazing things they’re capable of with someone by their side. With the right support, children raised in kinship families flourish.

That’s why we support, connect and campaign. To keep kinship families stronger by keeping them together.

About Grandparents Plus – the kinship care charity

Kinship care often begins in crisis. A child whose parents are unable to care for them, for whatever reason. It’s frightening, confusing and heart-breaking.

Instinctively, a loved one steps in – a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or family friend. They are now a kinship carer, bringing up the children they love. There’s no chance to prepare. Plans are pushed aside. Relationships, jobs and savings are sacrificed.

It’s life changing and challenging raising children who’ve lost their parents, but kinship carers do it without a thought for themselves because they put the children first.

At Grandparents Plus we know how hard life can be for kinship carers. But we’ve seen the amazing things they’re capable of with someone by their side. With the right support, children raised in kinship families flourish.

And we will not rest until the recognition and support is there for every kinship family.

About our Advice Service:

Our Grandparents Plus advice and support service was set up in 2011 and has helped over 12,500 kinship carers.

The demand for our service is growing each year and the number of kinship carers we support has increased by more than 300% since the line was set up.

We’re now able to extend our advice service and develop a new project providing advice to Special Guardians and other kinship carers across the UK.

Our service is independent, confidential, and non-judgmental. Our professional advisors give advice on available benefits, allowances and how to navigate child services.

We also signpost kinship carers to other organisations and apply for grants on behalf of carers.

We’re a friendly team, passionate about doing good better. If that also sounds like you, why don’t you join us?

We welcome applications in both English and in Welsh. Applications received in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than English applications.

Gwybodaeth am Grandparents Plus – yr elusen gofal gan berthnasau:

Mae gofal gan berthnasau yn aml yn cychwyn mewn argyfwng. Plant y mae eu rhieni’n methu gofalu amdanynt, am ba reswm bynnag. Mae’n achosi braw, dryswch a thorcalon.

Yn reddfol, mae rhywun annwyl yn camu i’r bwlch – nain/taid, brawd, chwaer, modryb, ewythr neu ffrind i’r teulu. Nawr maen nhw’n ofalwr sy’n berthynas, yn magu’r plant maen nhw’n eu caru. Does dim cyfle i baratoi. Mae cynlluniau’n cael eu rhoi o’r neilltu. Mae perthnasoedd, swyddi a chynilion yn cael eu haberthu.

Mae magu plant sydd wedi colli eu rhieni yn heriol ac yn newid bywydau, ond mae gofalwyr sy’n berthnasau yn gwneud hynny heb feddwl amdanynt eu hunain oherwydd eu bod nhw’n rhoi’r plant yn gyntaf.

Yn Grandparents Plus rydym ni’n gwybod pa mor anodd gall bywyd fod i ofalwyr sy’n berthnasau. Ond rydym ni wedi gweld y pethau rhyfeddol maen nhw’n gallu eu cyflawni gyda rhywun yn eu hymyl. Gyda’r gefnogaeth gywir, mae plant sy’n cael eu magu yn nheuluoedd perthnasau yn ffynnu.

Fyddwn ni ddim yn gorffwys nes bod pob teulu o berthnasau yn cael cydnabyddiaeth a chefnogaeth.

Gwybodaeth am ein Gwasanaeth Cynghori:

Sefydlwyd ein gwasanaeth cyngor a chymorth Grandparents Plus yn 2011, ac mae wedi helpu dros 12,500 o ofalwyr sy’n berthnasau.

Mae’r galw am ein gwasanaeth yn tyfu bob blwyddyn ac mae nifer y gofalwyr sy’n berthnasau yr ydym ni’n eu cefnogi wedi cynyddu mwy na 300% ers i’r llinell gael ei sefydlu.

Bellach rydym ni’n gallu estyn ein gwasanaeth cynghori a datblygu prosiect newydd sy’n rhoi cyngor i Warcheidwaid Arbennig a gofalwyr eraill sy’n berthnasau ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig.

Mae ein gwasanaeth yn annibynnol, yn gyfrinachol, ac nid yw’n barnu. Mae ein cynghorwyr proffesiynol yn cynghori ynghylch y budd-daliadau sydd ar gael, lwfansau, a sut mae cael hyd i ffordd trwy wasanaethau plant.

Rydym ni hefyd yn cyfeirio gofalwyr sy’n berthnasau at sefydliadau eraill ac yn gwneud cais am grantiau ar ran gofalwyr.

Rydym ni’n dîm cyfeillgar, ac yn credu’n angerddol mewn gwneud gwaith da yn well. Os yw hynny’n swnio’n debyg i chi, beth am ymuno â ni?

We are looking for a confident and reliable administrator who has at least 2 years’ experience of the day-to-day running of an office, and dealing with the general public. We are rapidly improving our cloud-based IT systems for recording casework, HR, finance and internal comms; you will be using these systems, so a high degree of IT literacy is essential.
