Greater Vancouver Food Bank is Hiriing!

As most of you know, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank is undergoing many changes. Not only are we looking to increase the amount of fresh and nutritious foods available to our members and partners, we are also looking to increase our support in the community to support the continuum of food literacy. We spoke to our partners and our members and have looked at ways that we can best support this. Over the next few months, you will see us hiring new staff and an increased presence in the community.

Our first step is re-igniting our support for community kitchens in the community. As a result, we will be hiring a Community Kitchen Program Coordinator. Working closely with the Food and Education team, the Community Kitchen Program Coordinator will promote and support food literacy through community kitchens and advocate for a stronger spectrum of health and wellness supports for the community.  More specifically, this role is responsible for establishing, nurturing, and deepening collaborative and reciprocal relationships with Community Kitchens throughout our catchment including providing training and support for facilitators and organizations. The Coordinator will be responsible for overseeing programming, logistics and curriculum development for the program as well as overseeing the program delivery.

Our ideal candidate has a solid foundation in the world of facilitation and training and a passion for food literacy and food programming. Someone who has experience developing curriculum for facilitators, working with vulnerable populations and a track record in communicating in ways that excite and encourage people about community kitchens. We are looking for someone to join our tight-knit, collaborative team who has their finger on the pulse of food and education and can bring a creative, flexible, and self-starting approach to the Community Kitchens Program.

The full job description can be found here: https://www.foodbank.bc.ca/our-careers/community-kitchen-program-coordinator/

All the best!
