This is a wonderful opportunity for Jenny and the foodbank thanks her for her huge contribution to Andover foodbank’s success.   Jenny’s move has given us the opportunity to review our staffing structure, particularly given the increased needs for our services.

We are looking for energetic, self-motivated, and resourceful individuals for the two roles.  Both are demanding but rewarding posts which offer the opportunity to be part of a local charitable operation with significant social impact. In taking up the roles you will be making an important contribution to your community and helping local people.
