ABOUT BITE BACK 2030

Be part of the creative and agile team behind Bite Back 2030’s exceptional teenage activists. Join us as our Finance and Operations Officer and contribute to a 10-year journey to help make the food system healthier and fairer and achieve our goal of halving childhood obesity by 2030.

Young people today are up against a flood of unhealthy food, pouring out of our highstreets, supermarkets and school canteens. As a result processed foods, snacks, soft drinks and takeaways, are playing too big a role in their lives.  Junk food is cheap and easy to access at a time when 3.3m young people under the age of 18 have overweight or obesity. Rates among our poorest are double those of our wealthiest young people.

Covid-19 has only further served to highlight the injustices in the food system and sharpen the focus on the impact obesity has on health outcomes.  There is a political moment now to accelerate change.

We believe young people are the key voice in driving this change in our food system.  It is a really exciting time to join the organisation - we are still a start-up but with ambitious plans for growth and impact.  Co-founded by Jamie Oliver and launched in October 2019, our Youth Board have already had campaign successes on a  range of issues including Free School Meals, a 9pm watershed on television junk food advertising and post-Brexit trade.

Trace is an innovative recruitment consultancy. Our person organisation fit profiling tool, the Predictive Fit Profiler, is helping us fit our candidates with our clients from a personality, behaviours, motivations and cultural compatibility perspective.

Join our small but busy team and help us to achieve our vision of universal access to safe anaesthesia. The Administrative Officer ensures the efficient and effective function of the WFSA office, including support to the finance manager and to external communications. 

5 billion of the world's 7 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable, timely surgery and anaesthesia. 17 million people die each year from surgically treatable conditions (that's more than 4 times the number who die from HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria combined).

If that sounds wrong to you and you are an experienced office administrator with a desire to make a difference then this could be your perfect job.
