Eggcup stops surplus food from going to waste and gets it to people instead. Our low-cost, weekly food scheme helps our members to save money on food, and that makes life more affordable for those in our community on a tight budget.
Eggcup is all about people, food, and the community, and if you volunteer with our Admin Team, you'll play a vital part in making all these things co-exist together in the Lancaster District area.
A large part of this role involves making phone calls to our Members - either signing them up and taking their details so they can collect food from us once a week, or checking in with them to see how they're doing. You'll be connecting with real people with real experiences all across the Lancaster District area and helping them to access a service that aims to support them during a time of need.
You may also be asked to answer the phone during the day, and help our Members with their queries or pass messages on to members of the team.
You might also be able to help out our Admin staff with all sorts of things that make our office run smoothly. No two days are ever the same for an Eggcup Admin Volunteer! It's such a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon, and a fantastic chance to make a difference in your community.
This is a role that can be done remotely, as long as you have access to the internet, and a laptop or a tablet that you can use to log in to our systems. Or you can come into our office and work from there, if you prefer.
No previous administration experience is necessary - all the training you need will be provided.
You will need to be available between either 9AM - 12:20PM or 12:30PM - 5PM on one day of each week (not including weekends). We can be slightly flexible with shift times, but it would help us enormously if you are able to volunteer with us during our standard office hours. If you're not sure if you can do this but you still want to be involved, get in touch with us, and a member of staff will have a chat with you about your specific situation.
We look forward to hearing from you!
