Ethos and the Living Room are creating a network of Community Larders across the county, building on their work of food surplus redistribution over the past few years. More about this initiative to join up great projects in Herefordshire soon!
They are recruiting for a Coordinator for this Community Food Larder work.
What they say:
"The Living Room is a community cafe, community food larder and community space, all in the centre of Hereford. We work on a model of asset-based community development, where we empower our community to help itself, seeing people not for their deficits but for their assets.
We achieve this in two ways. First, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of services. Secondly, we use our knowledge and asset-based work to change the system, to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help.
With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda. Visit our website for more info The Living Room: Home"
"We are looking for someone who is personable and proactive to manage the food larder, as well as connecting with external agencies and organisations to set up a network of community larders in rural Herefordshire. Excellent organisational skills and the ability to work both independently and with a team of volunteers is required. You will oversee the daily coordination of the Community larder to include, supermarket deliveries, stocktaking, record keeping/reporting and overseeing volunteers. "
You will need:
A personality that gets on with all people and can engage with people on all levels from the person walking in off the street who needs some help, to the business person who wants to offer support.
You will be a catalyst to empower people to make a change and help drive this young charity forward with input into its development that thinks outside of the box.
