Food Enterprise Assistant (2 Positions available) – 12 Months Fixed Term
The Centre for Participation has been successful in gaining one of seven grants from VicHealth to develop a Food Hub to help boost the way we grow, buy and share food.
If you are aged between 18 and 25 years old, join us in this new exciting social enterprise adventure which will see the Wimmera’s first Food Hub supporting local growers & producers.
The principles that will underpin the development of the Food Hubs include:
- ‘By the community, for the community’, that is, established and operated based on specific, well understood needs and wants of local communities in the context of the local food system.
- A strong emphasis on accessibility and affordability, including ensuring fair prices for vendors while maintaining affordability for consumers.
- A priority on local producers and the local food system, ensuring that Food Hubs support and supplement (rather than, for example, compete with) the local food system.
- A focus on the Target Communities who actively participate in the Food Hub (e.g. as customers, producers, vendors, managers, etc.) and their needs drive the ‘look and feel’, produce, programming and operation of the Food Hub.
This is a meaningful position and we want the successful applicant to be part of the journey creating the Hub.
