Overview

Wrexham Foodbank is a crisis intervention service with a vision for a Wrexham where everyone has the money to afford the essentials in life. This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to be involved, working with the Trussell Trust, in rolling out a strategic plan aimed at reducing the need for foodbanks.

The main priorities for the role are:

• To take a lead in the development of the foodbank’s strategic plan and to guide the improvement and
  reorientation of Wrexham Foodbank’s practices towards the delivery of long-term change and a reduction in
  referrals to the foodbank.
• To develop the Foodbank’s communication system including the website, social media, and networking
  opportunities.
• To instigate and support local campaigns linked to tackling poverty and to work collaboratively with other
  agencies combating poverty.

The Foodbank operates within the ethos of the Christian Faith; Trustees, employees and volunteers are expected to
be sympathetic to this and respect Christian values.

A knowledge of the local area would be advantageous.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, especially those with lived experience of financial hardship. If you are
