About the role:

Working closely with the Centre Manager, you’ll play a hands-on role in the day-to-day running of the centre. No two days are the same – one moment you might be setting up rooms for community groups, the next supporting volunteers in the café or helping coordinate food pick-ups.

You’ll be a friendly face for centre users, tenants and volunteers, helping create a welcoming, inclusive and fun environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the general running of the Community Centre
• Opening and closing the building and ensuring it’s safe and secure
• Setting up, cleaning and preparing rooms for hirers and activities
• Supporting tenants, centre users and volunteers
• Helping run the Community Lounge, café and Community Kitchen
• Coordinating, supporting and recruiting project volunteers
• Promoting and marketing community projects
• Assisting with food pick-ups for our food waste project
• Helping build partnerships with local organisations
• Supporting risk assessments, data records and basic admin

Who we’re looking for:
You don’t need to know everything already – we’re looking for someone with the right attitude, who’s happy to learn and get stuck in.

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team making a real difference in the local community – helping people connect, reducing food waste, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
