Summary
Anglesey Foodbank are involved in an exciting project to discover reasons why people are using a Foodbank and what we can do to prevent them coming to a Foodbank if there is help already out there they are unaware of.
Running for a year and is grant supported, your role will be speaking to potential cases, discovering the reasons behind it and recording data whilst developing training packages for our partner agencies as well as our own staff/volunteers.
Being a new role, you have the potential to take this forward and shape our future strategy using your experience and data gained from a year “on the ground”. You will also be provided with training from Local Citizens Advice as they are heavily invested in this project as well. You won’t be doing the day to day Foodbank work as this project is outside the normal operational remit but a willingness to understand how the current operation works will help.
We’ll expect you to be empathetic, presentable, be able to gather, analyse & interpret data and have an ability to communicate well to various groups of people in all walks of life whether it be in person or over video.
Ideally, you will live on or near Anglesey. Unfortunately, we are unable to support relocation costs to the area.
Job Description
The long-term aim of the Tackling Destitution Together (TDT) project is to drive down levels of destitution by ensuring people in, or at risk of destitution can access the right support at the right time and consequently end the need for food parcels.
Working in partnership with Trussell and Ynys Mon Citizen’s Advice, our goal is not only to design an effective new model of provision that focuses on early interventions to people who are most at risk of destitution, but working with other third sector organisations and statutory services, we see a local system-wide approach to build an evidence base to influence wider policy.
Salary
£25,350 - £27,300 based on experience.
12 months Fixed Term Contract. Employed by Anglesey Food Bank to support the TDT Project.
Base
Anglesey Food Bank Office, Holland Park Industrial Estate. Holyhead.
The post holder will be required to work in any location in Holyhead and on the Isle of Anglesey in support of the project and so personal transport, or alternative is essential.
Travel costs e.g. mileage claims will be based on the journey beginning from the Holyhead Office.
Main Duties
Attend Community Advice and Information Partnership to collaborate with partners and other stakeholders to raise awareness and share learning of TDT.
The post holder will also provide cover for absences of either the LCA Project Support Officer or Project Caseworker enabling 5 day per week Project delivery.
Analyse Food Bank Data in order to:
1. Identify concentrations of Food Bank Use for three service user groups:

b. Disabled people and people with long term conditions
c. Complex Cases which are identified by having 2 out of the following list:
i. Substance Misuse,
ii. Alcohol Misuse,
iii. Offending,
iv. Homelessness,
v. Domestic Violence,
vi. Begging
2. Use Food Bank data to create a network of agencies that support the three Project groups and organise and deliver training opportunities for frontline agency staff
3. To monitor the effectiveness of each agency in identifying people for Project participation and organise retraining where there is concern
4. Locate optimum points of delivery for Pop-up hubs from which the LCA Project Support Officer and Project Caseworker will engage Project participants. The locations are expected to shift as the Project gathers more data.
5. Locate the optimum locations for two information kiosks
6. Obtain the details of people referred into the TDT Project and enter them into and enter them into an electronic management system so as to verify that the intervention has effectively prevented the Project participant from becoming a Food Bank service user.
7. Create and prepare agreements for partner agencies across the project network to ensure that it will sustain beyond the end of the Project
8. Creating surveys for existing Food Bank users in order to capture what early intervention may have averted them entering food crisis.
9. Work with existing Food Bank user with lived experience to improve interventions, strategies and policies around the island.
10. Produce information packs available to the public that provide routes and signposting to help that may help them avoid needing emergency food aid. This information will also be formatted for delivery through information kiosks.
11. Develop training aimed at Agency workers to enable them to identify indicators and risks of poverty enabling them to make early interventional referrals directly to LCA. (People who are already in crisis will be referred as Service Users of the Food Bank by the normal routes)
The ability to converse in Welsh will be an advantage.
