About The jobs

These roles would be great for people who enjoy taking ownership and creating an environment where both people and the business can thrive.

We’re looking for a team that cares about people just as much as they care about great service to join our team.

These are hands-on roles at the heart of the SEK Community Food Shop. You’ll work closely together to keep everything running smoothly day-to-day, from supporting volunteers and managing deliveries to keeping the shop well-stocked and welcoming. You’ll be involved in every part of the operation. It’s a busy, active role where no two days are the same.

Most importantly, you’ll help create a space where people feel respected, supported and able to access affordable food with dignity.

About the Community Food Shop

Our SEK Community Food Shop is a new initiative in Chatham, designed to support people with access to affordable, good-quality food.

But it’s more than just a shop, it’s a place where people are welcomed, where conversations happen, and where individuals can be signposted to wider support if they need it. As Deputy Manager, you’ll play a key role in making that environment feel safe, positive and inclusive.
