Help us keep our food charity running smoothly. Are you organised, reliable and interested in gaining practical experience in the charity sector?
We're looking for a Volunteer Administrative Support Assistant to join our team for ideally a 6-month placement. This is a great opportunity to develop your administrative and organisational skills while supporting a charity working to reduce food waste, tackle food poverty and support our local community. You don't need extensive administrative experience. We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, willing to learn and keen to contribute to a meaningful organisation. As Volunteer Administrative Support Intern, you'll provide essential support across the charity's day-to-day operations.
The role is remote with the opportunity to come into our Brixton office. You will work closely with charity staff to collaborate with other organisations and prepare for upcoming projects in 2027. We are looking for someone to work 9 to 5 hours for 2-3 days a week.
Who we are:
Founded in 2018, Compliments of The House (CoTH) began by collecting surplus cooked food from Brixton Village and surrounding areas, and redistributing it free to people in need. From our local hubs we served our guests, and also ran our ‘Back to Work’ and ‘Care Leaver’ schemes.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, we could not host our guests in our hub. So we launched a temporary grocery delivery scheme supported by local council school buses, which gained recognition from the Prime Minister due to its impact.
Since then, we have found a new venture to channel our commitments to reducing the environmental impact within hospitality whilst nourishing people through food. We are so lucky to have many vibrant and diverse festivals locally and across the UK, which produce a whopping 400 tonnes in food waste every year! We’re taking on the challenge to reduce that waste and use it to nourish those in need.
We’re looking for someone:
-
Comfortable with emails and Google Drive or Microsoft programmes
-
Who has an understanding of GDPR, able to maintain confidentiality in line with data protection
-
Happy to pitch in on varied tasks and projects
-
With excellent written communication skills, basic numeracy and computer skills
-
Organised and reliable, someone who can manage their own work and time
-
Passionate about sustainability, reducing food waste or supporting communities
-
Eager to learn and contribute new ideas
Responsibilities:
-
General administrative duties, e.g. data entry, managing emails and Google Drive documents/ records, updating spreadsheets and organisational records
-
Handling sensitive information such as personal data and charity finances (receipts, funding etc.)
-
Supporting organising for our campaigns, sourcing equipment, recruiting volunteers
-
Adapting, editing, drafting, updating and designing materials/literature
-
Research background material for projects
-
Take part in meetings with external organisations involved in our projects and taking meeting minutes
What You'll Gain

Experience with administration and communications for a growing charity

Experience in events planning and recruiting/ organising volunteers

Strong understanding of what is involved in organising and running charity operations
-
A professional reference on successful completion of the placement

The opportunity to make a genuine difference by helping reduce food waste and improve access to nutritious food
