Our dream is that every child in the capital has the essential things they need to thrive, and that everyone can play a part in achieving that goal.

Are you passionate about tackling child poverty and motivated by Little Village’s values of Love, Solidarity, Thriving and Sustainability? Do you believe in our model of bringing families together to help each other? Would you enjoy working in the fast-paced environment of a small, ambitious organisation?

At the heart of Little Village is the regifting of pre-loved baby equipment, clothes and toys onto other families.  We want to be a delight to donate to – making it as easy as possible for families to pass on their items. We’re looking to recruit for the new role of Network Stock & Logistics Manager to support inventory management across our sites.

This role involves managing day-to-day operations, supplier relationships, continuous improvement initiatives, and strategic planning. The Network Stock & Logistics Manager will take a network-wide view of our stock and logistics. This will include both the inbound and outbound movement of stock, as well as our London-wide logistics infrastructure and contracts.  They will work closely with the warehouse team on stock levels, policies and procedures, as well as with hub teams to have a complete picture of network stock levels and needs, in order to make efficiencies, improve stock flow and engage with the community.

We think that this job requires 35 hours per week, but we’re open to discussions about flexibility. The role is home-based with weekly visits to our warehouse and hubs across London. The salary is £35,000 – £37,000 FTE per annum (depending on experience) and the successful applicant will require a DBS check.
