We are looking for a dynamic coordinator (part-time) to develop and implement a plan for growing the food citizenship movement, helping to drive it forward. Could it be you?

This is a part-time (15hrs/ week) role on a fixed-term (one-year contract). You will be responsible for co-ordinating work on building the food citizenship movement and working closely with other members of the team. You must be prepared to promote the shift from consumerism to food citizen, showcase examples of organisations demonstrating a food citizenship mindset, manage relationships with key stakeholders and bring ideas for how we can grow the movement and formalise partnerships so others co-host the movement. Part of this will involve working out what the Food Ethics Council’s role in the food citizenship movement should be in future.

The Food Ethics Council is a registered charity whose mission is to accelerate the shift to food systems that are fair for people, animals and the planet. The organisation has an open and supportive culture. You must be able to work independently and be willing to contribute ideas and to challenge. Whilst your primary responsibility and focus is to co-ordinate the movement, as part of a small team, from time to time you should be prepared to get involved in different aspects of the organisation as needed.

About the food citizenship movement

When it comes to food, we are most often told that our position is that of the consumer only. Our ability to affect change is limited to what products we buy and where we buy them from, our power lies in our wallets. However, this story about ourselves and our agency in shaping this food system is, at best, incomplete and, at worst, reinforces an exploitative, unjust and unhealthy food system.

Food citizenship is a movement which imagines and creates a different way that we can all meaningfully participate in a more just and resilient food system and food future. We know that we are so much more than consumers alone. Food citizenship is based on three key principles:

• We are naturally disposed to care, and a sense of purpose is central to a fulfilling life.
• We need to have meaningful power in order to sustain that care and purpose.
• We need the support of a community in order to thrive, individually and together.

At the Food Ethics Council, building on initial work from the New Citizenship Project, we spent two years learning about what food citizenship looks like in practice across the UK food and farming sector, identifying where these diverse approaches are already being experimented with, what approaches and strategies have worked and how we can link up as a movement. We then used this framework to explore what it means in the context of household food insecurity.

Now we want to build on the food citizenship assets we have created (see here), case studies we have gathered and connections we have made – to build on the growing momentum and excitement surrounding the food citizenship movement. We want your help to give the movement a platform so that in time food citizenship takes over from consumerism to become the dominant mindset.
