The Comox Valley Food Bank has been showing up for its neighbours since 1983. Today that means more than 200 local families fed daily, and over 100,000 lbs of food rescued every month with less than 1% of it ending up in the landfill. We’re accredited under Food Banks Canada’s Standards of Excellence program.
None of that happens without someone keeping our office running.
We’re looking for a full-time Office Administrator to hold together the records and systems behind everything we do. It’s detail work, and it truly matters. Clean donor records keep donors. Accurate reporting keeps the food rescue program funded. A correct delivery calendar means someone gets groceries.
What You'll Do
Donor & Financial Administration
– Processing and administering donations in Keela, our donor management software.
– Maintaining donor records.
– Accounts payable, bank deposits and payroll administration.
Data & Reporting
– Client data entry into our external software systems.
– Maintaining society spreadsheets in Microsoft Office.
– Internal reporting on food rescue and diversion volumes.
Client support
– Booking clients into our home delivery program and coordinating delivery dates.
– Speaking with clients by phone and in person
General office
– Filing, correspondence and the everyday things that keep an office moving.
Who Works With Us
You’re organized, and you notice when something’s off before anyone else does. You can work independently and switch between tasks without losing the thread. You’re a clear communicator, and you’re kind. A lot of the people you’ll speak with are having a hard week, and how you treat them is part of the job.
You like systems. Learning and improving our internal processes sounds exciting to you. Two or more years of administrative experience is preferred. If you have an interest in marketing and social media, that’s an asset.
Above all, you want your work to add up to something in the place you live.
