Are you ambitious Individual Giving specialist with the skills and experience to take supporter care and engagement to the next level?

Supporting 8 sites and currently raising £5 million each year, this fantastic organisation enables care provision for over 1 million patients.

You're creative and innovative in approach; someone with their finger on the pulse when it comes to advances in individual giving and new opportunities for your supporters. You've got a nuanced understanding of supporter journey and how to engage donors effectively for long-term relationships.

Based in Yorkshire with flexible working options. As you'll be leading a team, you will need to have an office presence, but comfortable with a mix of home/office.

About The Felix Project

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.

This year we will deliver over 2,500 tonnes of food to more than 310 London frontline charities and primary schools. This is enough food to make over 6.5 million meals.
