Description

Foodsharing Ottawa (FSO) has been rescuing food in Canada’s capital since 2015. Our vision is that “All food is valued and never goes to waste in our community”. We are also passionate about supporting fairer, more sustainable ways of distributing, using and disposing of food. We are looking for people who are motivated and share this passion to join our Communications team.

We are looking for individuals to help FSO create communications products and content that we can use for volunteer onboarding and social media posts. Specifically, we are looking for those interested in communications/marketing, researching and writing content related to food waste and/or food rescue operations, designing, scripting, and shooting videos to tell a story. We would also be interested in someone who is familiar with tracking and analyzing social media stats. We value the following:

Responsibilities

As a member of the Communications team, you will have a chance to generate material that can help others understand the process and value of reducing food waste. You will have the opportunity to work with other teams (e.g. food rescue, outreach, community fridge project) to support their engagements with the public.

If you would like to make a positive impact in your community and reduce food waste, this may be for you. We look forward to hearing from you! Although not mandatory, providing a covering letter and/or CV will allow us to know a little more about you and why you would like to join our team.
