FareShare UK’s pioneering Surplus with Purpose scheme works with businesses across the food industry to help cover the extra costs of redistributing their unsold food to people who need it and preparing unfinished surplus food for redistribution. Surplus with Purpose helps FareShare redistribute thousands of tonnes of surplus fresh fruit and vegetables to charities and community organisations that need it.
A typical day will include carrying out the daily van safety check, collecting your order lists from the Food Allocations team and then picking the fruit & veg for each order, which will be between 400kgs and 800kgs. After safely building the pallets, you’ll load them onto the van and then unload at the Community Food Members’ (CFMs) sites. You’ll collect their empty trays and return them to our Warehouse, perhaps stopping to refuel on the way, where you’ll take on Warehouse duties as required e.g. picking orders, cleaning, goods-in, stock rotation etc.
You are the face of FSGM to our CFMs so you’ll need top notch customer service skills, excellent communication skills and a commitment to working in a culturally sensitive way. It’s a physical job so you can comfortably lift up to 25kg at a time repeatedly and throughout the day.
For insurance purposes, you need to be at least 23 years’ old, with at least two years’ driving experience, and ideally with experience of safely driving commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. If you have a licence for driving larger vehicles (up to 7.5 tonnes), even better. The salary offered will reflect the driver qualification you have.
