Closing date: 9 a.m. Monday 15th July

Who we are.

Beyond Food provides support and empowerment to people who are experiencing or have experienced trauma, homelessness, addiction, poor mental health, incarceration, or simply feeling excluded from society. We believe in second and third chances for everyone.

Based at the fantastic Brigade Bar + Kitchen by London Bridge, Beyond Food harnesses the power of food to inspire and equip people facing chronic unemployment with the power to change their lives.

Our flagship training programme, FreshLife, is a comprehensive three-week emotional support and practical hospitality training.

If they relapse, whether they start using again or even find themselves in prison, we don’t give up on them. They will be supported while they find their feet again and re-enter the training programme when ready.

These skills enable those excluded from work to become and remain employable. We keep in touch with our Alumni and will support them as they continue their journeys towards long-term, fulfilling employment and happier, healthier lives.

About the role.

This role will support our Partnerships and Fundraising Manager to drive our fundraising efforts with a clear focus on individual giving.

Candidates will be required to have either mass individual giving experience (ideally playing a key role in acquisition, digital, campaign or an RG programme) or major donor/HNWI experience. This is a special opportunity to join a true innovator and a movement that makes a difference to many people facing a multitude of challenges.
