Job Vacancies

We are looking for committed and passionate individuals to join our Board of Trustees and help support our mission of providing practical help and hope to local people facing crisis.

We are particularly interested in applications from people with experience in marketing and communications, governance, or logistics. However, you do not need to have specialist knowledge to apply. We welcome applications from anyone who shares our vision and values, including individuals with lived experience of food poverty or family crisis.

Becoming a trustee is an opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a real difference within our community while helping shape the future of our charity. You do not have to know everything from day one. We will provide full training, induction, and ongoing support, alongside the opportunity to work within a lively, supportive, and rewarding environment. Above all, we are looking for enthusiastic people who care about helping others and want to contribute their time, ideas, and energy to a cause that matters.

If you feel your skills and experience could benefit The Welcome Centre's Board, we would love to hear from you. Further information about the role and how to apply can be found here.
