This role requires exceptional leadership, analytical, and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to communicate complex financial information effectively to non-specialists. If you are a proactive and detail-oriented professional eager to contribute to a mission-driven organisation, we encourage you to apply.

We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own. 

If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. 

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value racialised minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.

We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!

You will need to have current right-to-work in the UK prior to application and for at least the first six months (for permanent positions) or for the full duration of the contract (for fixed-term positions). Visa sponsorship is not guaranteed.

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%)

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

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 Saturday Supervisor, you can use your people skills, organised nature and attention to detail to help feed people in need and provide a safe and welcoming environment. You will:

• Lead sessions in the shop, serving and praying with customers and supervising and praying with volunteers (40%)
• Ensure a safe and clean environment and equipment to comply with hygiene standards (40%)
• Ensure food is stored and handled safely to minimise waste (10%)
• Ensure everything is prepared for the Food Shop sessions to run smoothly the following week (10%)
• Keep Christ central to activities in the Food Shop project (always)
