About the Role

As Assistant Regional Manager, you will support the Regional Manager with the smooth day-to-day operation of the Food Hub, Warehouse and Mobile Food Hub. This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. You will help create a dignified and welcoming shopping experience for clients, support volunteers, manage stock and contribute to food relief services that reach people doing it tough throughout Whyalla and the broader Eyre Peninsula.

Foodbank Food Hubs are set up to resemble a general store and offer clients a dignified shopping experience. The Warehouse supports the operations of the Food Hub, Mobile Food Hub and services agencies, schools and partners in Whyalla and the broader Eyre Peninsula.

In this role you will:

- Provide high level customer service with sensitivity to social and cultural needs

- Support the organisation and presentation of the Food Hub

- Induct, train and lead volunteers

- Receive, check, sort and store produce

- Support stock control and ordering

- In the absence of the Regional Manager, coordinate and support the volunteer team and ensure daily administration is completed.

The Mobile Food Hub is a customised truck that travels to areas identified as being areas of excellent need with limited service or access to food relief. In this role, you will support the operations of the Mobile Food Hub and may be required to travel to locations within the Eyre Peninsula to set up and deliver food relief, service and support to the community.
