Role
The role of the Depot co-ordinator role is to work alongside and co-ordinate our volunteer teams to ensure all redistribution and depot activities are carried out effectively and safely.

You will be a natural problem solver, be enthusiastic and be able to think on your feet, thrive in a reactive environment and love to take on the next surplus food challenge, and there are a few!
We are looking for someone with a calm but can–do attitude who is happy to work flexibly with the team from jumping in the van doing deliveries to picking up the phone or receiving the next pallet of surplus food!
