Sutton Community Works (SCW) is a Christian charity in South London. Our vision is for our faith in action projects to contribute to a safe and flourishing community in Sutton.

Our work focuses on areas including food poverty, young people, rough sleepers and homelessness. In all our work, our ethos is to love God and others in all we do and say, ensuring people feel seen, heard, understood, and helped.

The Community Food Shop enables Sutton residents who are living with food insecurity to have weekly access to healthy and helpful food, with around 110 households visiting each week.

People visiting the shop come from a vast variety of backgrounds but all have faced difficult life experiences. Beyond food, we also want people to access support to improve their situation, so we pay Citizens Advice to come to the shop every week and provide advice on topics such as housing, debt and benefits.

And as a Christian project we underpin everything with prayer and actively offer prayer to our customers too. The community is real at the Food Shop, and the genuine care and compassion that our 40+ volunteers offer keeps people coming back and building trusting relationships with us.

As one customer said: "Thank you to all the volunteers for their love and support. Being able to feed my family with help from the Food Shop has changed my life."

As the Community Food Shop Stock Coordinator, you can use your hardworking and organised nature to help feed people in need in Sutton. You will:

• Manage stock at the shop safely and effectively, supported by the Food Shop Manager and leading a team of Restocking Volunteers (70%)
• Buy or collect donations of additional food as required (10%)
• Maintain excellent food hygiene standards (10%)
• Ensure everything is prepared for the Food Shop sessions to run smoothly (5%)
• Lead sessions in the shop, serving and praying with customers and leading volunteers (5%)
• Keep Christ central to activities in the Food Shop project (always)

Salary: £27,000 per annum pro rata (plus 5% pension commencing from successful completion of probation period).

Hours: 21.5 per week

Location: Based at the Community Food Shop in the St Nicholas Centre in Sutton (SM1 1AY), with occasional travel to the office (Highfield Hall, 320 Carshalton Road, SM5 3QB) and other local places to collect food.

Occupational Requirements: This role involves offering and participating in Christian prayer with members of the public and volunteers, leading devotions and group prayer, and providing pastoral care and supervision to volunteers. It is therefore an occupational requirement for the post-holder to be a practicing Christian.

This role also involves buying/transporting food multiple days per week, therefore it is a requirement that the post-holder is a driver with access to a safe vehicle they are insured to drive for work purposes.

We are looking for someone who:

• Shares the Vision, Values and Ethos of Sutton Community Works
• Cares deeply for those in need and wants to put their Christian faith into action to serve them through addressing food insecurity
