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
  • Overseeing food hygiene
• Managing the recipients list, including accepting and rejecting referrals on an ongoing basis and in line with operational capacity
• 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

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.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply for this position and are actively seeking to increase the diversity of our staff base so that it better reflects that of the communities we work with.

Local Trust believes that there is a need to put more power, resources and decision-making into the hands of local communities, to enable them to transform and improve their lives and the places in which they live. The pioneering Big Local programme is one of the most radical and exciting grant programmes ever launched by a major lottery funder. Big Local was designed not just to provide funding directly to people in communities, but to do so in a way that would build community capacity, confidence and skills in the longer term.

We are seeking someone with an interest in working with communities who can broker strong relationships with local and national organisations that can help community groups to achieve their ambitions. This will entail finding and working with skilled individuals and organisations who can further help the community groups in enabling their plans for community growth and development.

You'll also be responsible for managing contracts and agreements with a wide range of organisations. It's a very diverse role because the many communities that Local Trust works with all have differing needs and focuses for development and change.

This is an ideal role for a motivated individual who can bring fresh perspectives and ideas into Local Trust that help to deliver their long-term goals. If you feel like you have the right community engagement experience and feel confident in taking on a crucial and diverse role, then this could be for you.
