Night support worker jobs

Sutton Community Works (SCW) is a Christian charity in South London. Sutton Foodbank is one of our faith in action projects and we are looking for a dedicated manager to oversee the smooth delivery of this amazing project supported by almost 100 volunteers!

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.

Sutton Foodbank has been helping people in food crisis since 2009, and supported nearly 4000 adults and children in 2024. We are open 5 times per week across 4 different venues and people are referred to by referral partners across the borough. Details of our sessions can be found on Sutton Foobank website.

Sessions are run by our dedicated volunteers who come from local churches; and our dependable warehouse, restocking and transport volunteers always ensure food gets safely to where it is needed.

People visiting the foodbank 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 commision Citizens Advice to come to the foodbank sessions to help people maximise their income 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 clients too. The genuine care and compassion from our volunteers helps to build trusting relationships so we can more effectively listen, pray and signpost people to other support. 

As our Foodbank Manager, you can use your leadership experience, excellent communication and organisational skills and Christian faith in a way that makes a real difference in people's lives.

Could you come and lead this amazing project?!

Thank you for considering this fantastic opportunity to join The Avenues Youth Project as our Fundraising Manager with responsibility for writing applications to Trusts and Foundations. This is a part-time position (4 day/week) with full flexibility for home working.

The Avenues is an exceptional West London youth centre that guides disadvantaged children and young people to explore and develop new skills, connect with their peers and our trusted staff, and find their confidence. The Avenues offers free-to-access fun and meaningful after-school, weekend and holiday activities led by trained youth workers. Our excellent facilities include training kitchen, music recording studio, podcasting studio, arts and crafts room, sports hall and classrooms. 

With secured blue-chip funders and a host of smaller funders, a significant amount of groundwork has been laid, including a pipeline of multi-year grants securing some activities to 2026 and beyond. Our challenge is to maintain this revenue to create a stable future, by strengthening our relationships with existing funders and introducing new ones. We are looking for someone who not only shares our determination to give all young people a fair chance but has the experience, skills and personality to help us achieve our goals, someone who enjoys the thrill of achieving funding success. 

Educated to degree level or higher, you will be a hard-working, self-starter with excellent writing skills with the ability to write concise and creative bids. Ideally, you will have 3+ years’ proven track record in a fundraising position, with a focus on trusts/foundations and public sector income streams. However, you may equally have experience in sales and marketing in a commercial environment.  

Either way, you will be skilled at budgeting and presenting financial information in easy to understand formats. You are a relationship builder and collaborative worker with a creative and proactive approach to problem-solving.

You have a high standard of software literacy (Office software, Mailchimp and internet), excellent telephone manner and an ability to communicate effectively with a range of callers.

The role offers you the chance to work for a highly respected charity, with a great team of staff, while helping make meaningful change. The Fundraising Manager is a very well respected position in our organisation and you'll work closely with the Chief Executive and the rest of the team. 

Do you want to support people with mental health issues?

• Have the opportunity to support the Service Manager in collating information for reporting to demonstrate the themes and issues the team and clients face.
