About FareShare UK

FareShare UK exists to turn an environmental problem into social good. We have a vision that ‘No Good Food should go to Waste’ and a mission to ‘Maximise the Social Value of Surplus Food’. In the UK supply chain alone, two million tonnes of surplus food go to waste each year. At the same time 6.7 million British people don’t always have enough to eat; two million of them are children.
We source this surplus food from fields & farms and from manufacturers and retailers, and help get it onto the plates of those who need it the most. With a UK-wide Network of delivery and retail partners we support over 10,500 UK charities to bring people together and tackle hunger – and help prevent food waste and its environmental impact. However, providing a meal only tackles the symptom of hunger; our food also helps charities to provide people with wrap-around services that lend a hand up more than a hand-out.

The demand for food from our charities is greater than ever, and we are expanding the Food Team (Commercial team) accordingly. If you want to be part of our story and join us at an exciting time in our growth and development, we’d really love to hear from you

You will work with Retail Partners to help identify and overcome the barriers which exist to giving surplus food to people in need. These include operational, financial and historical issues, including competition from income streams available to industry e.g. selling surplus food to anaerobic digestion or animal feed processors

You will also be required to work closely with FareShare colleagues within FareShare and across the UK in our partner organisations in order to identify and understand opportunities for creating mutual and shared value.

Do you want to make a positive difference to people? Help those who are voiceless to be heard?

An incredibly exciting opportunity has arisen at SEA – Services for Empowerment and Advocacy – to lead the organisations’ activity; supporting people to have their views heard across housing, health and social care settings. This is a new role and as such provides the successful candidate with plenty of scope to shape and develop their activity; we are therefore looking for someone with proven leadership skills, strong ethics with a commitment and passion to helping others.

At SEA, our belief is that people are experts through their own experience.  So our greatest passion is in enabling people who use services to have a voice; we firmly believe that this is the best way to influence real and lasting change, at both a grassroots and strategic level and the successful candidate with have a similar ethos and goals. By supporting SEA to create opportunities for involvement, individuals can grow and develop, take control of their own lives and make lasting, positive changes.

We aim to work in a transparent and inclusive way with ‘dialogue, not confrontation’, at the heart of our practice. We strive to make people aware that they do have rights and choices and that their opinion matters - regardless of their background, support needs or social class/status. We are particularly committed to ensuring that those who are rarely asked their opinion – often defined as ‘hard to reach’ by others - have an equal chance to voice their views. 

If you feel that you have these skills or that you have the passion, drive and commitment we need then we’d love to hear from you – we want to find the right person to help shape SEA for the future and to support the strategic goals of the Board in a meaningful way.

Someone who will uphold SEA’s excellent reputation for delivering services to vulnerable individuals with complex support needs; identify opportunities to develop funding streams and generate new delivery proposals.

You’ll be able to demonstrate a passion for working with those who have lived experience and evidence the impact that this can have on improving services as well as the lives of individuals. You will be dynamic, creative and passionate about the positive impact that lived experience can bring to services, with a participatory approach to leadership that values everyone’s contribution to the team effort. You’ll have experience of managing complex budgets as well as teams, and of working with a Board of Trustees and contributing to setting the strategic direction of an organisation.

Working with SEA’s trustees, you will support and lead on the implementation of the organisations’ strategic objectives.
