Job description

Ely Foodbank is seeking a Foodbank Operations Manager to play a key role in the day to day leadership and development of our services across East Cambridgeshire and Fenland. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You will work closely with volunteers, referral partners, community organisations, and the wider team to ensure people facing hardship receive a welcoming, professional, and effective service.

As a growing organisation, we are looking for someone who combines excellent organisational skills with a practical and solutions focused approach. You will be comfortable managing multiple priorities, building productive partnerships, supporting volunteers, and using systems and technology to improve the way we work. Whether your experience comes from the charity sector, public services, community organisations, or another operational environment, we are looking for someone who can bring energy, initiative, and strong operational leadership to the role.

This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference in your local community while helping shape and strengthen an organisation that supports thousands of people each year.
