We are recruiting for a full-time Community Food Hub Co-ordinator.
The Kindling Trust are seeking a highly motivated and organised individual, with experience of project development and management, to help us refresh our much loved Hub of Sustainable Food and Farming and help return it to the thriving community asset it once was.
After a couple of years with little funding, with your help we are about to enter a new exciting phase for the site. When our community funding came to an end 3 years ago, we sadly had to scale back our much needed activities. Our amazing Market Gardeners, Veg Box scheme and Community Gardeners kept the Kindling sustainable food torch burning throughout that time, but we always wanted it to be so much more and knew it could be.
So we are now very happy to announce that we have secured funding for this post to start building a whole new engagement programme at our urban organic food growing site in the heart of Stockport.
We are looking for someone who is both practical and has community engagement experience to help us deliver our ambitious plans over the next 3 years. Someone who will work with us to plan, co-ordinate and run activities to engage more people with sustainable food; and crucially someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up and carry out practical improvements to the site.
Job Details include:
Hours: Full time (37.5 hours) a week
- must be able to work regular Saturdays and potentially some evenings/Sundays
We will consider offering this post as a job-share
Length of Contract: 12 months with extension if funding secured
Salary: £26,230 per annum + 5% pension contribution
Probationary Period: 3 months
Location: Stockport
Closing date: 5.00 pm on Sunday 18th May
Interviews: Monday 25th May
Application Process: Please send us an up-to-date CV and a covering letter. Email to mail@kindling.org.uk and include the Subject: Woodbank Co-ordinator.
