ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
Without our volunteer drivers, the Community Food Hub simply does not run.
Food donations, supplies, and resources need to move — and you are the person who makes that happen. As our Volunteer Driver, you'll be a critical part of the operation, collecting from our partners and suppliers and delivering to the Hub so that families across Hackney can be fed.
This is a practical, independent role that puts you at the heart of our supply chain — and the impact you make is felt every single session.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
• Collect food donations, supplies, and resources from partner organisations and suppliers
• Deliver collections to the Community Food Hub at Fawcett Estate, Clapton
• Communicate clearly with Thomas and the Hub team about collection schedules and any changes
• Handle all food safely and responsibly during transit, following food hygiene guidelines
• Keep a simple record of collections — what was picked up, from where, and when
• Report any concerns or issues during collections immediately to Thomas
• Maintain the vehicle used for collections in a clean and roadworthy condition
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
ESSENTIAL
• Full, clean UK driving licence
• Confident, safe, and experienced driver
• Reliable and punctual — our food supply depends on you
• Able to lift and carry food boxes and bags safely
• Good communication — able to liaise clearly with the Hub team and partner organisations
• Basic awareness of food hygiene for transit
HELPFUL BUT NOT ESSENTIAL
• Experience driving a van or larger vehicle
• Previous experience as a delivery driver, volunteer driver, or similar
• Knowledge of Hackney and surrounding areas
• Understanding of food bank or community food logistics
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
• A professional reference from our Head of Food & Partnerships and CEO
• Experience in community logistics and food distribution
• The knowledge that without you, families would go without — that matters enormously
• A trusted, valued place within the Children With Voices team
