£16.01 per hour (equiv to £30.8k if full time) + 6% pension
contribution

Location:

Line Manager:

FW Senior Programmes Lead

What is this project about?

Faithworks’ Blandford base is a community larder and Foodbank called
“Nourish” supporting individuals and families in the DT11 postcode area to get
out of food insecurity. It offers a safe, welcoming space for both immediate aid and
long-term solutions, helping people regain stability and confidence.

Services include:

•  A Community Larder providing good quality, nutritious food to families and

individuals with very limited disposable income, at a significantly discounted
price.

•  A Foodbank providing crisis food supplies to those with short term hardship

•  Space for conversation to explore needs and existing support.

•  On-site access to debt advice, financial resilience teams, and partner agencies

(e.g. Faithworks CMA, REACH, Citizens Advice, You Trust).

•  Community activities such as community meals, cooking and money courses.

As a Christian initiative, Nourish operates with generosity, integrity, and grace,
upholding professionalism, safeguarding, and health & safety standards

Overall Purpose of job:

Ensure Nourish is a safe, collaborative, and inspiring environment aligned with
Faithworks’ values of being Welcoming, Alongside, Trusted, Empowering, and
Resourceful.  Ultimate success in this role is 3-fold:

•  Making sure every person who walks through the door is valued and supported in

the best possible way so that they leave with new hope

•  Developing a team of staff, volunteers and partners that all share our values and

thus create a place that is safe, welcoming, affirming and hope-filled

•  Promoting the larder, foodbank and other support, to be seen as a trusted
partner, and a place that people want to support financially, prayerfully and
practically

You’ll be someone who can relate brilliantly to not only our “guests”, but to staff and
volunteers and to partners from both churches and statutory organisations. You will
also be someone who is “always ready to give a reason for the [Christian] hope that
is within them”.
