OBA is different
OBA provides a hand-up rather than a hand-out. More than a Foodbank, OBA provides support for 3 months - much longer than most Foodbanks. We also provide an innovative well-being support service that helps service users address the underlying causes of their food needs. In 2024, OBA helped more than 75 households with complex underlying issues, this involved many weeks of telephone calls and meetings and helped prevent at least five families from becoming homeless. OBA also provides free preloved clothing and household goods to help service users get back on their feet.
Since 2023, OBA has its own fully funded premises off Portslade Road next to the Windrush overground station. Despite these successes, we continue to rely entirely on donations for our day to day expenses. As Foodbank Manager, you will help us secure the funding to grow our services and help even more people.
You will bring:
-
A strong track record of fundraising and networking across public and private organisations
-
The ability to articulate a clear compelling vision to our stakeholders and funders
-
The ability to develop and implement effective operational procedures to deliver our goals
-
The authority to lead a values driven organisation in a collaborative and inclusive manner
-
A strong understanding of the voluntary sector;
In return we offer:
-
A flexible part time (32 hr/wk) work environment with hybrid working
-
The opportunity to work with a dynamic, ambitious Board of Trustees
-
A fully funded business plan with exciting growth opportunities
-
A fully funded position complete with NIC and workplace pension
-
A diverse, stable and energetic team of volunteers
If you have questions, please contact Sonya Antoniou-Pamment, Chair of Trustees, for an initial informal chat. We are also happy for you to pop in and see the Foodbank in operation however, as OBA is not open every day, please contact Sonya to arrange a suitable time.
If you would like to apply, please send a covering letter (no more than 2 pages) telling us a little about yourself and how you meet the skills and experience requirements listed in the Job Description. Please include a CV (again no more than 2 pages) and don’t forget to include a contact email and telephone number. The deadline is Friday 22 August 2025.

About us
MCR Pathways is an award-winning charity established in Glasgow in 2007. We currently support over 7,800 young people across the UK who’ve had an unfair start in life, through our community of mentors, donors, staff, and partners. They are united by a shared belief: that every young person deserves someone to help them find their way. We believe in the power of mentoring and that a single connection can change a life.
We connect young people with volunteer mentors who offer support, encouragement and a listening ear. The aim is to empower young people to define their own ambitions, supporting them from aspiration to achievement. It’s more than academic success; it’s about instilling belief, resilience and the chance to thrive.
Mentoring is at the heart of what we do, but not all we do. We create opportunities like career tasters, job shadowing, and work experience helping young people access networks and pathways they might not otherwise reach. We support them into further and higher education, apprenticeships and employment and fulfilling careers helping them live their best life.
MCR Pathways’ values are Respect, Communication, Trust and Growth and they inform everything we do.
