We are looking for two Recipient Coordinators for our local charity.

  • Comply with and following all Bellyful policies & procedures including Health & Safety and the Bellyful Code of Conduct.
  • Liaise with and report to the Branch Coordinator as necessary.
    2.Referrals
  • Receive referrals from the Bellyful website (via email)
  • Contact the recipient by phone (in most cases) to check the referral details (may be delegated)
  • Allocate delivery to a delivery volunteer, considering location and the recipients situation
  • Liaise with the referrer and recipient as necessary to ensure smooth delivery and notify as appropriate if there are delays
  • Notify referrers once delivery has been completed

Passion for Bellyful’s aims and mission
Good communication & organisation skills
