- Knowledge and experience of delivering successful integrated campaigns
Closing date: 8 February
Interviews to be held: w/c 14 February
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we're unlikely to be fully reopening our London office during 2021. Therefore, the role will involve a mixture of office and home working until we’ve re-opened our London office. We will continue to review the situation inline with government guidelines
What's it like to work for us?
We aim to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's - and you could help us achieve this.
We offer a variety of paid job roles and volunteer opportunities both at our UK office in London and across the UK.

About The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London's leading food redistribution charity. 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 Felix did not rescue this food, it would be thrown away and wasted. Instead, we deliver it completely free of charge to local 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. Our vision is a London where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.

Right now, we are running a very high-profile media fundraising campaign with the Evening Standard and Independent, which is on track to raise 10 million pounds. We have had celebrity endorsement from the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Jack Whitehall. This winter, we will partner with FareShare to run their London depot independently. By the end of 2020, we plan to have delivered enough food for 20 million meals.

Director of All Souls Serve the City
All Souls Church, Langham Place
Many years ago, John Stott paved the way for the All Souls Serve The City initiative. He saw the need for the church to get out there and work amongst the people that needed help. He saw that London is home to two parallel universes – those that have a lot and those that have little. He believed that the church’s role was not only to preach Jesus but to serve like Jesus. That is what All Souls have been aiming to continue to this day through the work of the ministries of All Souls Serve The City (ASSTC).
Following the creation of a new CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) on 1st January 2021 to bring together this collection of ministries an exciting opportunity has arisen to lead this umbrella organisation. We are therefore looking to appoint a dynamic individual to the role of Director, who can sustain, develop and grow these ministries, under a unified model.
The role comprises three principal responsibilities: leadership, management, communication & advocacy.
Leadership
-
Execute the vision for ASSTC by setting direction (together with the ASSTC board of trustees) and overseeing the implementation of the strategy
-
Ensure gospel foundation and ethos of all ministries
-
Represent ASSTC within the broader church context, leading in decision making
Management
-
Bring team together and create a flourishing environment
-
Line manage and develop ASSTC project managers / ministry leads
-
Oversee fundraising and financial position

Oversee recruitment of all paid team members
Communication & Advocacy
-
Provide oversight and communication link to all grant-making bodies, ministry advisory groups, trustees, and to the church family
-
Ensure alignment of individual ministry objectives with charity and church priorities
-
Steward resources across all ministries
