ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
The Community Food Hub at Children With Voices runs because of people like you.
This is our entry-level food co-op role — no experience needed, no qualifications required, just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and be part of something that genuinely feeds and supports Hackney families.
You'll be working alongside a warm, welcoming team in our co-op space, helping to make sure that every family who comes through our doors leaves with what they need and feels respected and valued.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
• Sort and organise food donations as they come in
• Pack food parcels for families with care and accuracy
• Help set up and pack down the co-op space before and after sessions
• Welcome community members as they arrive and make them feel at home
• Assist with basic stock checks and flagging when items are running low
• Keep the co-op floor clean, tidy, and well-organised throughout the session
• Follow all food hygiene and health and safety guidelines at all times
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
ESSENTIAL
• Friendly, warm, and non-judgemental towards all families
• Willing to get stuck in with practical, hands-on tasks
• Reliable — families and the team count on volunteers showing up
• Basic awareness of food hygiene (or willingness to complete a short online course)
• Respectful and kind in all interactions with families and team members
HELPFUL BUT NOT ESSENTIAL
• Any previous experience volunteering at a food bank, community kitchen, or similar setting
• A food hygiene certificate (Level 1 or 2) — though not required
• Additional languages spoken (Hackney is a wonderfully diverse community!)
• Experience working or volunteering with families or in a community setting
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
• The reward of making a direct, immediate difference to families in Hackney every week
• Support to obtain a food hygiene certificate
• A professional reference from our team
• A genuine insight into grassroots community food provision
• A welcoming team and a space where your contribution truly matters
