Organisation Description: Working with people learning English to develop their skills through food and cooking
Description of role: We have our second fundraising cookbook currently on sale in physical book stockists. You can see more about our book here: https://heartandparcel.org/2023/03/01/cookbook-two-from-home-to-home/
We need 1 volunteer to give 2-6 hours a month to keep in touch with our amazing cookbook stockists.
Each month, we get in touch with stockists, checking if they would like more books, send out invoices for the sold ones, delivering new books to stockists, and putting posts on social media promoting them and their businesses.
This role would be good for anyone who would like experience with distribution, marketing, account management - or who perhaps likes going to different businesses, cafes, bookshops, cultural institutions and meeting great people!
We have a full system - invoice / spreadsheet - on drive.
The hours could be done flexibly, we just make contact once a month with stockists, unless special requirements are needed.
Full training and supervision is given. Travel Expenses paid for travelling to our stockists.
