VACANCY: PT Team Leader - Lochwinnoch Community Larder

We're recruiting for a new Team Leader within our charity. This role sits within our Community Larder project which has grown to be one of the busiest pantries in Scotland. We have over 2000 members and operate a wide range of activities and services from our garden home in the heart of Lochwinnoch. We believe in keeping good food out of the bin, and in growing food locally, with benefits for the planet and creating fairer food distribution systems. It’s about human contact too though - the Larder is a social hub. We have a large team of friendly volunteers and this role will support them to do the vital work of keeping our project running. The hours mostly fit within school hours and might suit working parents of school aged children, but there is the opportunity of additional evening and weekend hours which would take the role to 24 hours per week. We would consider job share between two candidates where one cannot cover all the hours offered.

- £29225 FTE pro rata
- 6 months initially with likelihood of extension
