Community Wellbeing Kaiapoi Foodbank Coordinator

Part time (30 hours per week)

Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust is the largest social services agency in North Canterbury. The Trust provides a range of free social and community services including:

• Family Social Work
• Early Childhood Education
• Restorative Justice
• Wellbeing support for rangatahi / young people including counselling and specialist drug and alcohol support.
• Wellbeing support for tamariki/ children in primary schools.
• A Kaiapoi based Foodbank

The Trust employs 40 professionals, with around 35 volunteers and has three operational bases (one in Rangiora and two in Kaiapoi).

The Kaiapoi Foodbank operates Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm and is the largest foodbank in Waimakariri. The Foodbank is powered by a team of passionate volunteers who respond to food parcel requests and assist with the daily collection and the sorting and packing of food items from Satisfy Food Rescue.

This dynamic role involves co ordinating the provision of food parcels for those requesting support, while providing a rewarding experience for volunteers. The role suits that special well organised person who is an effective communicator with an empathetic, inclusive “can do” approach, along with a genuine passion for community.

We would love to hear from you if you are that special person who is organised, energetic, has a genuine passion for food security and community and proven experience in a similar role.

At Community Wellbeing, we are committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We embrace different ways of thinking, living, and working because we believe diversity benefits us all. It makes our capabilities even stronger. We encourage all our people to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work and we strive for a diverse and inclusive workplace.
