FareShare Greater Manchester is the region’s largest food redistribution charity, fighting food poverty and hunger by tackling waste. We source good quality food that is surplus to requirements from retailers and manufacturers. We rely on an army of volunteers to help redistribute this food to almost 300 frontline charities such as school breakfast clubs, community centres and organisations supporting those who are homeless, unemployed, and socially isolated.
As a Food Allocations Assistant you'll allocate surplus food to our Community Food Members (CFMs). Working closely with our Warehouse team and volunteers, you'll quickly and accurately add incoming food to our database and then speak to our CFMs to confirm their orders.
Along with your can-do attitude, you'll be a strong communicator (both on the phone and in-person) and be able to work quickly under pressure and to tight deadlines: our food needs to move in and out of the Warehouse before it's past its best. You are curious about food and able to build an understanding of what's on our database along with the types of food our CFMs are looking for, in order to allocate it efficiently.
We support a wide range of community groups as well as a large number of volunteers who donate their time to support our operation, so you are someone who relates positively to people from a range of backgrounds, skill levels, and levels of motivation.
The role is based onsite at our Warehouse on New Smithfield Market. We are happy to discuss your preferred working days.
Once you apply via Charity Jobs, we will send you an application form which must be completed in order to be considered for the role.
