Job description

Position Overview

The Food Bank Singapore was set up in 2012 with a goal to achieve food security for all in Singapore through redistribution of food surplus to needy communities while championing food sustainability. As a registered charity with an IPC status, we provide food support to beneficiary partners like Red Cross, Pertapis, SunLove, Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities, etc, to bring nourishment to needy communities. We believe that telling our story well is just as important as the work we do — and that’s why we’re looking for someone exceptional to join our team.

To bring our mission to life, we’re looking for someone to champion Events and Volunteer Engagement — a key team member who will help us grow our impact through engaging events and a strong volunteer community. This role is ideal for someone who loves planning, thrives on connection, and believes in the power of people working together for a good cause.

In this role, you will be responsible for planning, designing, and executing events that raise awareness and engage external stakeholders (donors, volunteers, community, beneficiaries, etc) to support our fundraising, marketing and advocacy goals. From food drives to major campaigns, school outreach to community events, you’ll help create moments that matter.

You will also lead our volunteer programme by inspiring, recruiting, and managing volunteers from different walks of life - from corporate groups to individuals, schools, and families. Volunteers are the heart of our work, and your role will ensure they feel valued, supported, and connected to our mission.

This role will report to the Head of Brand and Communications.

Volunteer Engagement

Develop and implement strategies for volunteer recruitment, engagement, and retention.

Maintain volunteer databases and manage volunteer-related data, including sign-ups, attendance, and feedback.

Coordinate and deliver volunteer training, onboarding, and appreciation programs.

Qualifications and Experiences

What we are Looking For

• at least 2 years of experience in event management, community engagement, and/or volunteer coordination.
• Strong people skills — you enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life and building relationships.
• Excellent organisational and project management abilities, with attention to detail.
• Comfortable speaking in front of groups and managing logistics on the ground.
• Passionate about social causes and eager to make a difference in the community.
• Flexible to work some evenings and weekends when events are held.

This is your chance to be part of a movement, not just a role.
