About The Felix Project 

The Felix Project is London's biggest food redistribution charity and the largest end-to-end food redistribution charity in Europe.

Our vision is a London where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted. 

We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets, restaurants and farms. This food is nutritious, in-date, and safe and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. If we did not rescue this food, it would be at risk of going to waste. Instead, we deliver it free of charge to London charities, schools, food banks, COVID food hubs and other organisations serving people in need. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers.

We are a very ambitious and dynamic young charity and we haven’t stopped growing since we were founded in 2016 in memory of Felix Byam Shaw, by his father, entrepreneur Justin Byam Shaw. We recently ran a very high-profile media campaign with the Evening Standard and Independent, raising £10million to feed London. We have celebrity endorsement from Reece James, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Jack Whitehall, Stephen Fry, James May and many others.

Last year we delivered enough food for 21.1 million meals to help people in need. We have continuing major growth plans for the next 4 years, with a target of delivering enough food for 100 million meals by 2024. Because nearly all the food we receive is donated by the food industry and volunteers, every £1 of expenditure redistributes £10 worth of food.

Carers UK is looking for a Project Manager to deliver our Carers Active Campaign Programme for the next three years.

We are excited to have funding through Sport England from the National Lottery to deliver our work to help carers in particular aged 55+ become more physically active and to reduce loneliness.

Our research has shown that carers’ physical activity levels are far lower than others of the same age, because of the barriers they face. Activity levels have become worse during the pandemic when life has become considerably harder for many providing unpaid care. Yet carers tell us they want to be able to do more and to improve their health and wellbeing.

This project aims to continue our research and insight work with carers, to support carers to become more physical active, tackling the barriers they face and raising awareness of the importance of physical activity.

About you

You will be a highly motivated person with a proven track record of planning and delivering multi-layered projects on time, to budget and on target. Collaborative in approach and with excellent communication skills you will be part of the Policy and Public Affairs team. You would also be working closely with many other teams across the organisation as well as multiple external valued stakeholders at national and local levels.  You should be able to demonstrate evidence-led change.

About the role 

The role will be varied and diverse, planning and delivering awareness campaigns, as well as involving carers and professionals in insight work, research and continued policy development. This is a flagship piece of work that is breaking new ground, within a strong and supportive sector. The impact of this work will change carers’ lives for the better as well as improving practice.

About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity, supporting, advocating for and connecting unpaid carers across the UK.

With over 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK and 6,000 individuals becoming a carer every day the need to support them is growing and urgent. Unpaid carers save the country an estimated £530 million each day and are vital to the friends and family members they support, as well as to the wider community.

COVID-19 has dramatically affected carers across the country. Our recent polling suggests that the figure for unpaid carers could now be as high as 13.6 million, with 4.5 million people starting to care overnight due to the impact on coronavirus on services and individuals.

The closing date for applications is Monday 21 June 2021 at 10am

First interviews will be held 29 or 30 June 2021
