About this opportunity

Levenmouth Foodbank was set up by Local Churches in response to local need as part of the Trussell Trust national network of foodbanks. A desire to help people in a non-judgemental way and contribute to improving their circumstances is central to the work of the service. Current operations include:

· Foodbank
· Café
· Schools Work

We are looking to appoint new Trustees who live and/or work in Levenmouth. Prospective applicants are expected to be aware of Charity Trustee legal duties and responsibilities for which training can be given.

It is expected that candidates have good communication, interpersonal and writing skills with the ability to work within a team and to contribute to problem solving. In addition, experience/knowledge of Human Resources would be advantageous, though not essential.
