Fruit Share Adelaide rescues excess quality fruit from backyards and farms to reduce food waste and get fresh, nutritious produce to people who need it. In just 2.5 years we've rescued over 40,000 kg of fruit, distributing it to community organisations, food banks, schools, and charities across Adelaide — all powered by volunteers. And we're growing.

About the role

Our Operations Coordinator has had to step down after doing outstanding work getting this role off the ground. We're now looking for someone to pick up where he left off, taking day-to-day coordination off our founder's plate so he can focus on strategy and growing our reach — and building organisational resilience, so key knowledge and tasks aren't held by just one person.

The role will continue to evolve based on what the organisation needs and what you bring to it. We're asking for a minimum of 5 hours a week, with full flexibility on when those hours are worked.

What you'll be doing
Supporting the founder by taking on operational and administrative tasks
Coordinating harvest logistics — transport and equipment
Administering Common Fruit, our CRM for volunteers, fruit trees, and harvests,



and supporting Harvest Leaders to use it effectively
Developing documentation and explicit, repeatable processes from fruit enquiry through to distribution
Maintaining records of harvests, volunteer hours, fruit volumes, and recipient organisations
Liaising with partner organisations (OzHarvest, Foodbank, SecondBite) for larger harvests
Supporting grant applications with accurate data and impact reporting
Performed remotely from home; Adelaide-based preferred
Versatile scheduling, minimum 5 hours per week
Police check required — cost covered by Fruit Share Adelaide
Volunteer role, with a pathway to paid as funding develops

What we're looking for
Organised, reliable, and a confident communicator
Comfortable with digital tools and databases
Self-directed and adaptable in an evolving not-for-profit environment
Passionate about food waste, community, and sustainability
Valid driver's licence

If you're looking for a meaningful volunteer role where you can genuinely shape the future of a community organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
