Position Overview:

GBF Community Services is a not-for-profit social enterprise located in Grimsby Ontario. Our mission is to meet our clients' basic needs and promote wellness throughout our community, while providing a safe and rewarding environment for our Board of Directors, staff and volunteers.

The Food Security Department is GBF's longest running program and is fundamental to the wellbeing of our clients. Addressing food insecurity and preventing hunger for our clients has been, and will continue to be, a priority focus.

Fundamentally, the Food Security Program Coordinator is expected to effectively collaborate with the Social Services Division staff to continually strive to grow and improve our Social Services Division programs to meet the needs of both our clients and our community.

On occasion, the Food Security Program Coordinator will be asked to support the other two Social Services Departments, i.e., Client Services and Community Wellness. Cross training will be provided to enable this position to competently fill in when other Program Coordinators are absent, e.g., vacation, sick leave, lunch breaks, etc.

Work one Saturday per month on an as needed basis, as agreed to by the Director of Programs.
Adjust hours of work (occasionally) to work after hours for events and third-party fundraising events.

Role Expectations:

Participate in impact goal development for all three Programs, target setting, and implementation of objectives as per the Business Plan.
Participate in strengthening current partnerships, and creating new relationships, with the goal of engaging in collaborative opportunities to provide access to services GBF does not provide.
Adhere to all GBF policies and procedures and ensure that others do the same.
Participate in relevant professional organizations as a representative of GBF.
Demonstrate a high level of professionalism and integrity, promoting GBF Community Services’ values, vision and mission.
