About the role

Langworthy Cornerstone is a healthy living centre, and promoting wellbeing through cheap, healthy, and affordable food is central to our mission.

As a Food Club Recipe Volunteer, you will support our Food Club by designing creative, healthy, and affordable recipes for local community members to use at home. Recipes will vary each week based on the ingredients delivered in the Food Club packages, so we need someone imaginative and adaptable.

This role is ideal for a local cook, aspiring chef, or food technology student who wants to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of people in their community who need it the most. The focus is entirely on recipe design and written content, not cooking, testing, or delivering food.

Designing healthy, affordable, and accessible recipes independently, promoting nutrition and wellbeing
Coordinating with other Food Club volunteers to understand available ingredients or using common seasonal ingredients
