FareShare Greater Manchester is looking for volunteer Driver's Assistants to join our busy friendly delivery team with redistributing tonnes of surplus food a month to charities and community initiatives across Greater Manchester.
FareShare is a national charity fighting food poverty and global warming by tackling food surplus. We source overstocked food from retailers and manufacturers and engage many volunteers to help re-distribute it to over 220 frontline charities and community groups across Greater Manchester. These groups, in turn, provide meals to vulnerable people experiencing food poverty, individuals who are homeless, families, and people who are unemployed or socially isolated. This food would otherwise have gone to waste, so we are simultaneously supporting people in need and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Key responsibilities
Working closely with the driver of a temperature-controlled 3.5 tonne Mercedes Sprinter van to deliver surplus food orders to the premises of the benevolent projects we support.
Loading and unloading the vehicle and carrying out a range of tasks, from basic vehicle checks to delivery administration.
The required skills and attributes are:
-
Reliability and ability to commit to pre-agreed volunteer shifts (ESSENTIAL)
-
Physical fitness, to take on moving and handling of food orders
-
Ability to follow procedures and instructions
-
Good verbal communication skills
-
Interest in the work of FareShare Greater Manchester and our values
-
High respect for Health & Safety procedures and standards
In return you will gain:
Career and CV advice and support
A reference for future employers
Reimbursement of travel and lunch expenses
The opportunity to give practical help to fight food poverty and reduce food waste (and associated CO2 emissions)
The opportunity to meet like-minded people and make new friends
Our operating hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Driver and Driver’s Assistant shifts begin at 8:30am.
We welcome volunteers who can commit to one day a week.
The days and rota hours of volunteering are agreed around your availability.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must be resident in the UK and living in Greater Manchester, or within easy commuting distance of our base, in order to volunteer with us. There are no exceptions to this rule. This is because we require volunteers to be able to reliably commit to regular shifts for some of our roles. We are unable to offer sponsorship for overseas applicants.

Admin Manager/Lead – VOLUNTEER ROLE
Remote | Approx. 4 hours per week | MINDSET Charity (UK)
Transforming men’s mental wellbeing through action, challenge, and real‑world connection
MINDSET is building a new kind of men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth movement in the UK — one that speaks the language men actually respond to: doing, belonging, challenge, and shared purpose. We’re not clinical. We’re not corporate. We’re not another “sit in a circle and talk about your feelings” model. We create experiences that help men grow, connect, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
And now, we’re looking for an Admin Manager/Lead to build the operational backbone that keeps this national movement running smoothly.
Why This Role Matters
Behind every programme, every challenge, and every breakthrough moment for a man in our community, there’s a huge amount of organisation happening quietly in the background.
Your work will ensure that the charity runs efficiently, that volunteers and programme leads have what they need, and that our systems support — rather than slow down — the mission. You’ll be the person who brings clarity, structure, and calm to a fast‑growing movement.
This is a founding role. You will help build the administrative systems and processes that will support men across the UK for years to come.
What You’ll Lead
As our Admin Manager/Lead, you will:
-
Build simple, effective administrative systems that keep the charity running smoothly
-
Manage inboxes, documents, schedules, and internal communications
-
Create and maintain clear processes that support volunteers and programme leads
-
Keep information organised, accessible, and up to date
-
Support onboarding processes and ensure volunteers have what they need
-
Work closely with leadership to streamline operations as we grow
-
Help build a movement that changes the way men experience wellbeing in this country
This role is remote, flexible, and designed for someone who wants to make a real impact in just a few hours each week.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
Naturally organised and enjoy bringing order to busy environments
-
Someone who loves creating simple systems that make life easier for everyone
-
Reliable, detail‑focused, and comfortable managing multiple tasks
-
Passionate about men’s wellbeing, personal growth, and community
-
Excited by the idea of shaping a national movement from its earliest days
You do not need charity experience. You do not need formal admin qualifications. You just need heart, initiative, and a desire to help men live fuller, healthier lives.
What You’ll Be Part Of
MINDSET is creating a new narrative for men in the UK — one built on strength, connection, and growth. Your work will directly support the delivery of programmes such as:
-
Our 12‑week Self‑Improvement Programme
-
Our Life Coaching Programme
-
Future activity‑based wellbeing programmes and challenges
You’ll be helping to build a movement that gives men the tools, confidence, and community they’ve been missing.
If you want to help build something bold, needed, and genuinely life‑changing…
We’d love to hear from you. Join us and help build the administrative foundation at the heart of MINDSET.
