About FareShare UK

FareShare is the UK’s national network of 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. During 2020, we redistributed 113 million meals through our FareShare Regional Centres and our retail surplus model FareShare Go, reaching over 1 million people.

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

This important role has been created to support delivery of the FareShare strategy over the next three years and to develop innovative approaches to our work with the food industry which will further drive our growth and support the delivery of sustainable food volumes.  We have ambitious volume plans and, whilst there are still high volumes of surplus food going to waste in the food supply chain which we aim to access to drive this growth, we are in a challenging and dynamic environment for the food industry and we are operating alongside a number of commercial and charitable food redistribution organisations who also have equally ambitious plans.

Reporting to the Director of Food, and working closely with the other members of the Food Team, this role will co-ordinate and oversee delivery of the activities identified to deliver the Food strategic objective which is to be the food redistribution partner of choice.  It will identify and develop innovative approaches to accessing increased volumes from both existing and new food partners as well as considering engagement and collaboration within the sector, with trade bodies and other organisations engaged with the food industry e.g. waste companies, software houses etc. 

This role will have line management responsibility for the Food Trade Marketing Manager role which will be responsible for developing our industry facing comms through all channels, ensuring our partners remain engaged and motivated as well as raising FareShare’s profile through industry facing activities and supporting the engagement through trade bodies and other relevant organisations.

We are looking for an energetic, motivated, well organised individual able to use their insight and experience to add value to the work of the food team.  This role is a great opportunity to have real impact that will benefit your colleagues, our Network partners and, most of all, make a meaningful difference to the work of the 11,000 charities who rely on us to help them improve the lives of the beneficiaries they support

We welcome applications from people from all sections of the community, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief. 

We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to identify and secure new funding from charitable trusts and foundations, and help ensure the sustainability of our work.

What you’ll be doing

You will be responsible for building and managing a range of multi-year, five and six-figure grants, working with some of the UK’s leading charitable organisations. You will research and target those whose criteria match our aims and activities, coordinate your pipeline with other members of the trusts and statutory team and ensure our work is sustainable and impactful.

What we’re looking for

You will be passionate about our work and support our values and ethos. You will be skilled at building new relationships with charitable trusts, foundations and other institutional funders to secure both single and multi-year grants, and have experience of managing and increasing grant giving among a portfolio of existing funders.

Why our work is so vital

Poor literacy and resulting inequality is not inevitable. The National Literacy Trust improves the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of those who need it most, giving them the best possible chance of success.

We make society fairer. Poor literacy creates social and economic inequality. The one in six adults in the UK with poor literacy earn less, are less likely to vote and more likely to experience health inequalities.

We enable social mobility. A child without literacy skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they will be locked out of the job market. The pattern is intergenerational and starts at birth.

Our work is targeted at communities with the highest levels of disadvantage and the lowest levels of literacy. We support thousands of schools and early years settings, bringing in wonderful partners like the Premier League and the nation’s best publishers who bring literacy alive. We campaign to make literacy a priority for our nation’s leaders. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions.

What we offer you

As well as a competitive salary, we offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, season ticket loans, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

We support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.

While you will be based in our office in London, this role can be peformed primarily from home, and you would only be expected to attend for all staff days (approximately 3 per year), team strategy days (around 2 per year) and any in-person training or induction, and any in person funder meetings as required.

Full time/37.5 hpw (4 days/30 hpw week considered for the right candidate)

Salary £28,000 - £32,000 FTE

Do you have a passion for the local community, love working with people and a positive/can do attitude? We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated leader to join our high-achieving and dynamic Fundraising team.

This is a permanent position, leading on our Community Fundraising income stream. Working with and managing our current (successful and experienced) team, the ideal candidate will have strong leadership skills, experience in Community fundraising (including events) and the ambition to help achieve our organisational strategy to double the reach of our care by 2028.

You will lead the rebuilding of this core income stream following the pandemic and maintain the direction of travel, to bring our Community Fundraising activities back to their pre-pandemic levels. Then through experience and innovation grow our wonderful network of support and income line for the future.

This role would suit a Community Fundraising Manager looking for a new and exciting challenge, or an experienced Senior Community Fundraiser looking to take the next step in their career, and can evidence the required skills, ability and ambition to achieve.

About Girls Friendly Society

Established in 1875 Girls Friendly Society (GFS) is a feminist organisation and one of the oldest UK registered charities working to support girls and young women (GAYW)

Our small staff team and national network of more than 160 volunteers deliver a variety of activities, services, and support to girls and young women in a safe, single gender, non-judgmental environment throughout England and Wales. 

We support girls and young women through the difficult transitions from childhood to adolescence to young adulthood by providing opportunities for them to have fun, make friends, and develop their confidence, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, and resilience to enable them to fulfil their potential and live as independent women.

About the job

This is a new and exciting role for the charity and has two priorities:

• To develop a strategy for GFS to engage with GAYW to ensure that they have the opportunities and support to shape and influence all aspects of development of GFS with the aim of improving their experience at GFS.

• To lead on the development and delivery of our impact measurement for GAYW so that we can best describe and quantify our impact as well as ensure we are delivering what GAYW need and want. We are at the early stages of this thinking and so this will be developing the strategy and working with Operations to implement some change management with our teams across England and Wales.

We offer a range of flexible working options including hybrid working and compressed hours. You will have access to the Employee Assistance Programme, a generous pension scheme as well as training and development opportunities.
