Do you want to work with a multiple charity of the year winner? We are FoodCycle, and our vision is to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community. We connect communities, reducing loneliness and food poverty – working with thousands of volunteers and surplus food to help everyone who needs us. By creating welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life to meet, eat and have conversations, we are supporting people’s health and mental wellbeing.​

You will support our mission by ensuring efficient office operations and maintaining a safe and organized work environment.

You will have the opportunity to improve processes and seek efficiencies. You will be an excellent communicator, with great organisational skills and previous experience in an office environment. You will be confident answering phone calls, including from vulnerable people, and be able to work on various projects at once. This is a hybrid role, with 3 days a week at our Head Office, so you will need to live within a one hour commute of Vauxhall, London.​
