Van Driver

Hit the Road with Us – Join Foodbank Victoria’s Logistics Team!

We are on the lookout for an experienced driver to work across our various programs and be a friendly, reliable face to Foodbank Victoria’s suppliers and charity partners.

When you're not behind the wheel, you’ll be based at our Brooklyn site, lending a hand in the warehouse - assisting with the storage and distribution activity, including manual handling tasks when required.

At Foodbank Victoria, we're growing to meet increasing demand for our services across the state. As we continue to expand our impact, we're investing in talented people who share our commitment to supporting Victorian communities.

Why Foodbank:
Whether it’s everyday emergencies or in times of crisis, Foodbank Victoria has been providing vital food relief to vulnerable Victorians for 96 years. We deliver food to people who need it in three different ways: in partnership with our charity partners, through schools and via our regional Community Food Centres.

Across our network of over 450 charity partners and 1400 schools throughout Victoria, we have distributed over 25.1 million meals in the last 12 months and are currently feeding 76,000 Victorians a day.

While supporting our charity and school partners is at the core of what we do, as the state’s dedicated emergency food relief organisation, we’re also here to assist Victorians through natural disasters, pandemics and the ‘invisible disaster’ caused by the ongoing cost of living crisis. 

Why we’re right for you:
Our people come for a career and stay for the mission! 

You will join an organisation full of passionate and creative people who champion and invest in the vision of helping to fight for a food secure future for all Australians.

We strive for a diverse and inclusive workforce, fostering a culturally safe and supportive environment where everyone can bring their whole self to work.

Our locations span across metro and regional Victoria including Altona, Brooklyn, Ballarat, Morwell and our CBD support office but the warmth of our culture is unified across all sites.

• Delivery and collection of products.
• Manual hand unloading and loading will be required.
• Review dispatch instructions prior to leaving on a trip.
• Ensure that you understand loading/unloading procedures and weight restrictions.
• Prior to departing the warehouse, conduct an inspection of the vehicle and complete daily checklist.
