We are a community charity working to serve our local area. Pudsey Community Project exists to transform Pudsey and its surrounding areas (an area of 20,000 households) with and for the local community, especially for those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged. That looks like emergency food aid through Pudsey Foodbank; operating Pudsey Community Pantry (110 households accessing ongoing food support each week in five openings across three locations); our citywide clothes scheme Reduce Reuse Kids’ Clothes (providing preloved children’s clothes to several thousand children a year); a weekly older people’s lunch club (numbers 30+ a week); seven weekly sessions of youth provision; bereavement support; a monthly Repair Café and wider community development. We work from our dedicated base on Fartown in Pudsey.
We are looking for a responsible person to oversee and develop our signposting services which principally are available alongside our food provision. This person would oversee the research, updating and promotion of signposting materials and other modes of support, work with volunteers, and train staff and volunteers. They would work 1:1 with service users to help maximise their income and increase their independence.
They would be based at Pudsey Community Project and would need to be available for varied hours including some (primarily Wednesday) evenings and Saturday mornings. IT competence including Word, Excel, Facebook and the ability to pick up our internal databases; and experience working or volunteering in a community/charity setting is essential.
