About the East Lothian Foodbank

East Lothian Foodbank provides food and emergency daily essentials to local people who are experiencing hardship in East Lothian. Alongside the provision of emergency food parcels and essentials, we offer a money advice service and practical support to individuals and families who use our service. In addition to this, we work with partners and local community to influence policy towards ending poverty in East Lothian.

As an independent Scottish charity, we are fortunate to also be part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by Trussell, working together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank to survive.

About this role

This is a new opportunity at our Foodbank for a proactive, hands-on individual with strong organisational skills and a passion for supporting local communities.

As part of an expansion of services, our Food Club will provide access to affordable food alongside opportunities for connection, wellbeing support and community building. Our hub is more than a food space - it is a welcoming community space that helps build stability and positive futures.

You will coordinate the day-to-day running of our Food Club, ensuring it stays well organised, fully stocked and operates effectively. This is a varied, hands-on role where you will support staff, manage logistics and to potentially help develop new sites as our hub grows.

Duties will also include – organising advice/support drop-ins from a range of local agencies, reviewing and promoting memberships to people who use our service and building and maintaining strong relationships with individuals across our community.
