Employment and management arrangements
CTIPA Food Bank is an inter-church partnership with a steering group consisting of trustees who are representatives from partner churches and others. It serves some 4000 people (in 2020) throughout much of the area stretching from Land’s End to Praa Sands. It is a registered charity (no. 1147642) which is the legal entity responsible for ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation and liabilities and for employing the Food Bank Trainee Deputy Manager. It is located in some garages behind the Premier store on Treneere Estate in Penzance and is open each weekday from 9.00-12.00. During Covid restrictions, we are working in small teams and delivering food to clients, rather than them coming on site to collect, as before covid.
CTIPA Food Bank is staffed and managed by volunteers, but (enabled by external funding) we would like to take this opportunity to offer a paid one-year part-time training post to someone (perhaps someone in their early working life or changing career) who is interested in devoting themselves to working in the charity sector. This will accord them the valuable experience of shadowing and assisting those who manage the food bank, giving a rounded experience of the various aspects of its operation, from stacking shelves and liaising with clients and our volunteers to assisting with communications, social media and collaboration with others working in food poverty.
The Food Bank Trainee Deputy Manager will be managed by and report to the Chair of the Food Bank Management Committee. All matters relating to day-to-day operation of the foodbank will be dealt with by the Food Bank Manager. All matters relating to employment and remuneration will be dealt with by the CTIPA Trustees.
Travel expenses and mobile phone (dedicated food bank use) will be provided by us.
Annual leave, sick pay and pension arrangements will be handled by CTIPA’s HR company.
