An exciting opportunity has arisen at Chelwood Foodbank Plus for a part-time Deputy Manager. Reporting directly to the General Manager, and often to the Board of Trustees. This role is extremely varied and it is a requirement that you can be flexible and adaptable to assist the General Manager in any tasks given.

 

You will be responsible for the financial administration, building an expertise within Xero, our accounting software, whilst maintaining the finances of the charity. This will include tracking expenditure of donations and grants, promoting fundraising activities, overseeing the reclamation of Gift Aid donations and reporting to HMRC. You will assist with our end of year accounts for audit, and submitting to the Charity Commission.

 

You will assist with fundraising and grant applications as required. You will collaborate with the General Manager submitting reports for grant bodies, donors, local authority and trustees, therefore an understanding of data and spreadsheets is a must. The foodbank is a Christian based charity and working alongside a faith community is very important.

 

The role is contracted at 16 hours per week, but on occasion, weekend or evening work may be required for meetings and ad hoc events. We are looking for a proactive, self starter to join our team as soon as possible.

 

Applications are encouraged up to 28 April 2025, with a view to starting 01 May 2025. If interested, please email info@chelwoodfoodbankplus.org for a detailed job description and application form.
