Job title: Executive Assistant & Governance Officer to the Executive Leadership Team & Trustee Board.

Salary/Rate: £30,000 pa (pro rata £15,000)

Hours: 0.5 FTE, flexible working required subject to requirements and demands of the role.

Status: Permanent

Reporting to: CEO (Direct), Chair of the Board (Indirect)

Background

The Felix Project is a dynamic London charity that works with food suppliers and charities and schools to reduce food waste and food poverty. We were set up in 2016 by entrepreneur, Justin Byam Shaw. 

More than eight million people in the UK struggle to afford to eat every day, while our food industry generates 100,000 tonnes of edible food waste each year. 

We rescue good food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste.  This is high-quality and nutritious, including a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, salads, meat and fish.  We collect or receive food from 170 suppliers, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis. 

We sort and then deliver this food to charities that cook meals and prepare food parcels for vulnerable people and to primary schools to distribute to children and their families. In 2019 we delivered over 2,700 tonnes of food to more than 310 London frontline charities and primary schools. This is enough food to make over 6.6 million meals. 

We have 40 staff, 500 active volunteers, and a fleet of 22 vans.

We currently have 3 main operations: our 2 depot operations at Enfield and Park Royal and our Central London operation.  The depots are open during the day and from these we collect, sort, deliver and store surplus food using our own vans completing pre-configured routes.  Our Central London operation runs in the evening and does point to point re-distribution directly from food retailers to charities, without the need for depot storage.  The Central London operation is fully “green” and uses electric vans and walking and cycling routes to extend our reach.

In October 2020, The Felix Project will be joining forces with FareShare London, with staff and volunteers from FareShare London becoming part of the Felix Family. This exciting partnership means that all current FareShare London volunteers will join us as The Felix Project volunteers, and will involve a transition period as we begin working more closely together and learning from each other. The goal of this partnership is to ensure that we are able to deliver more food to the Londoners who need it most.
