The Community Hub Project Coordinator will lead the day-to-day operation of the hub, ensuring students can access free food in a supportive environment. This role plays a key part in supporting student wellbeing, building community, and working in partnership with students, staff, volunteers, and external organisations. This involves supporting student enquiries, maintaining the health and safety standards of the hub, championing a welcoming and exciting environment for students, and working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders.
