About FSUK

FareShare is an award winning charity, we are the UK’s national network charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to almost 11,000 frontline charities and community groups.

Hunger is a growing issue in the UK and while there is surplus food that is otherwise going to waste, we believe that this food should be used to feed people first.

The COVID19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare’s ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide. We are fortunate to benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, sports ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement. As a result, there has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness.

About the Role

As Community Coordinator, your role will focus on the growth and sustainability of the FareShare Go programme across Kent and some areas in Surrey, through maximising relationships and adding value to create the best experience for our charity community. The successful candidate will be an exceptional communicator, with an approachable nature who will play a vital role in developing and maintaining charity and retailer relationships, plus raising awareness of FareShare Go across your local area. FareShare Midlands is the largest of the FareShare delivery partner operating across the West and East Midlands. We rely on an army of volunteers to help redistribute food to 550 frontline charities such as school breakfast clubs, community centres and organisations supporting those who are homeless, unemployed, socially isolated and recovering from addiction. These organisations provide meals and food parcels to more than 35,000 vulnerable people every week. 

As a Community Coordinator, your role will focus on the growth and sustainability of our network of community food groups in the region. The successful candidate will be an exceptional communicator, with an approachable nature who will play a vital role in developing and maintaining charity and retailer relationships, plus raising awareness of the Regional Centre and FareShare Go across the Midlands.

Main Responsibilities

• Charity account management: You will carry out virtual calls and in person visits with new and existing charities, and be responsible for ensuring that coverage KPIs are reached and maintained for both new and existing retailers. Using your analysis of charity needs, plus your knowledge of retailer and store profiles, you will use these visits to maximise the offer to charities, ensuring the service meets their requirements. 
• Community Capacity Building: As part of the Building of relationships with charities, you will seek opportunities to enable and empower charities to increase their capacity and ability to take more food, to ultimately increase the redistribution of surplus food to those in need. 
• Sustainability and Compliance: You will work with your Regional Manager and team to identify stores where re-engagement activities are needed to improve charity coverage and charity compliance. You will work to maximise the amount of food collected by charities with lower levels of compliance. You will also be responsible for undertaking food safety reviews with charities to ensure compliance. 
• Retailer Engagement: You will play a key role in maintaining strong retailer relationships across your region. You will take an active role in any meet and greets with retailers, where required. Plus, you will be responsible for maintaining regular contact with the relevant retail stakeholders in your region, sensitively dealing with any issues in a professional manner, as and when they arise. 
• FareShare Network Engagement: We aim to become 'oneFareShare’. These roles are an integral part of our FareShare network and you will partner closely with the Regional Centre(s) in your areas. You will work on joint initiatives which improve and grow the FareShare community, ensuring that charities have access to the FareShare service which best meet their needs.

Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about enabling patients and carers to drive change? We are looking for an exceptional candidate to manage and grow a network of peer support for people living with pulmonary fibrosis throughout Scotland.

There is no known cure for pulmonary fibrosis, and little support for individuals and families living with the condition. We are passionate about changing that, by funding research to find a cure, campaigning for access to early diagnosis and treatments, and supporting quality of life through good support. But there is so much more to do.

You might be a health professional, have personal experience of pulmonary fibrosis, or have worked with support groups and volunteers in a charity or health context. If you are positive, proactive, creative and organised, have the skill needed to build the network, and excel at engaging patients and carers digitally and in person, we’d love to hear from you!

Job title: Team Coordinator and Executive Assistant

Working hours: 28 hours per week

Salary: £24,000 a year (this is equivalent to a full-time salary of £30,000 a year)

Who we are?

At London Funders we are at the heart of a great network of over 170 member organisations, focused on funding in London.  This includes every local authority in London, City Hall, independent Trusts and Foundations, businesses, social investment organisations and more. Together, our members invest hundreds of millions of pounds every year in civil society through all aspects of London’s life, from arts through to welfare, so that people across our communities can live better lives.  We’re the place where funders come together to connect and collaborate, where ideas are generated and acted on, and where people work to ensure that resources are channelled to the right places.

What are we looking for?

The Team Coordinator and Executive Assistant role is the glue in the team, who can make things happen and help us to deliver our work to a standard we can all be proud of.  This role is crucial to us in ensuring that everything runs smoothly – from being the friendly first point of contact for the team, helping to manage our diaries so we use our time effectively, and keeping the office running, through to organising the logistics of our events and supporting our work with our members so that we continue to deliver what’s needed for London.

You’ll bring your skills and experience at effective office administration to help run our systems – from using programs you’ll be familiar with (Microsoft Office software), to others that might be new to you (including Salesforce and QuickBooks) where we can provide you with training and support to use them effectively.  Your excellent communication and interpersonal skills will help you to work as part of our small team, as well as with the colleagues in our member organisations you’ll be meeting at our events.  You’ll soon find that no two days are the same, so whilst some elements of the job will be fairly routine (from diary management to taking minutes at meetings), you’ll also thrive on the variety of things you can get involved in, using your prioritisation skills to help you stay focused on achieving great things as part of our friendly team. 

How to apply?

The deadline for getting your application to us is 12pm (midday) on Friday 22 October 2021 – we’ll be shortlisting that day, and if you’re selected for interview we’ll invite you in to see us on either Tuesday 26 or Wednesday 27 October 2021. When you meet us we’ll ask you to do a short test (of your computer and prioritisation skills, you won’t need to prepare in advance for this), and we’ll then have an interview with you which will also include some time for you to ask us any questions.

When you’re ready, send your CV, covering letter and diversity monitoring form as outlined in the application pack. We look forward to hearing from you!

Are you eager to support older people to live well and enjoy life more? Working with Age UK HHB's Befriending services as well as a team of volunteers, the focus will be on setting and achieving specific goals for the individual and encouraging the older person to be an active participant in the relationship.

We are recruiting an experienced Coordinator to lead a flexible and responsive one-to-one, person-centred service to individuals at risk of, or experiencing, loneliness and social isolation. The aim of the Community Connect service is to support people living alone to connect with and engage in community-based activities that will impact their social wellbeing.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

• Undertaking person-centred assessments, and reviews, utilising a range of tools, assessment and outcome frameworks.
• Providing time-limited interventions, which combat loneliness and reduce social isolation and support individuals to be connected to communities and place.
• Recruiting, training, supporting and leading a team of volunteers, ensuring that the delivery of services meets the required standards and targets.
• Liaising and working with a wide range of other health and social care professionals and agencies to promote awareness of the service.
• The ability to travel and navigate independently and to work efficiently.

• The successful candidate will have a good understanding of the needs and issues affecting the independence of older people.
