About FareShare

FareShare now operates 21 Regional Centres around the UK. The majority of these are run by local charitable organisations we call our Delivery Partners. This enables us to be a UK-wide organisation yet also think and behave with local concerns at the heart of our actions. We support 10,943 local charities and groups – our Community Food Members and Associates. Over the past year 19,519 tonnes of food were redistributed by FareShare Regional Centres and FareShare Go nationwide, our charity network serves 924,000 people every week. In 2018 our impact was felt in at least 1,960 towns, cities and villages, helping UK charities and community groups avoid costs of more than £33m and delivering over £70m value to the UK taxpayer.

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. Demand far outstrips supply.

FareShare’s Strategy & Vision

Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting front line charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.

Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.

Our Values:  Passion – for our cause and the challenge that lies ahead

Ambition – to go the extra mile and drive the change that must happen

Respect – for ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our partners and our beneficiaries

Collaboration – it’s only by working with others that we can be stronger

Focus – on providing the best service possible so that we deliver and

achieve the most for our clients/customers.

The role

This important role works closely with over 500 of FareShare’s food suppliers to ensure that surplus food is captured and distributed to our 24 warehouses. This key role is at the forefront of ensuring that surplus food reaches the FareShare warehouses, so that it can be distributed on to charities and community groups across the UK. The successful candidate will also work closely with our commercial team, to ensure our food partners receive excellent operational support and customer service. This role sits within the Food Coordination team, which is responsible for managing offers of surplus food from our food partners. The team works daily to liaise with food partners, allocate food, organise transport and logistics, maintain food offer records, and work with transport companies to find the best routes to get food from A to B. We are looking for organised, passionate people who are looking for a busy role with plenty of supply chain challenges.

The Climate Change Group (CCG) at IIED is looking for a senior coordinator/project manager to provide administrative support to the Drylands Team portfolio of work, focussing on the Decentralised Climate Finance programme of work.

The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) is a policy and action research organisation promoting sustainable development and linking local priorities to global challenges. We are based in London and work on five continents with some of the world’s most vulnerable people to strengthen their voice in the decision-making arenas that affect them. With more than 130 members of staff working with associates and partners around the world, IIED has been at the forefront of evidence-based policymaking in sustainable development for nearly 50 years.

The Climate Change Group of IIED, in conjunction with our partners, seeks to secure an equitable deal for the poorest communities in developing countries who are exposed to increasingly severe and unpredictable weather events that can devastate communities, destroy livelihoods and exacerbate poverty. IIED emphasizes capacity strengthening through collaborative research with individuals and organizations in the South.

This role will support teams working on Public Policy for Climate Resilient Development, Decentralised Climate Finance and Drylands and will report to the relevant Programme Manager. The role will also provide coordination support to other teams on cross-Group programmes of work, ensuring the effective administration of projects, knowledge and communications, outputs and budgets.

To succeed in this role, you must have a degree or equivalent (a finance and/or project management qualification is desirable, though not essential).  Building on an already solid foundation of proven project management skills, you will manage the delivery of programmes, a portfolio of complex budgets and possess a solid background which shows your ability to lead on financial planning reporting, monitoring and procurement processes.  It therefore goes without saying that proficiency in numeracy and analytical skills with keen attention to detail is an essential requirement to perform well in this job.  You will also manage the Assistant Coordinator/s in this team.

Able to multi-task with a varied and demanding workload, you will use your strong organisational skills to provide the highest quality support, at times under pressure and working to tight deadlines, so a calm and positive attitude is a must.  As this role works across teams as well as groups, in addition to a high level of interaction with both internal and external (including international) stakeholders, it is crucial that the post-holder has a can-do and adaptable approach with communication and interpersonal skills rating second to none.

With workshops and international conferences being a part of the larger portfolio, it is important that you also have experience in event administration and are adept in the coordination of travel arrangements.  As the Institute works globally with partners, international donors and governments you will have worked with a diverse range of stakeholders from different backgrounds and cultures.

If you think the above fits with your experience, skills and knowledge and are excited to be a part of our work, we would love to hear from you.

For further information about the requirements of the role please see the job description.
