Help lead the next chapter of an award-winning, volunteer-powered environmental charity

As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, Shrewsbury Food Hub is looking for an inclusive, practical and strategically minded Executive Director to lead us through the next phase of our development.

We have a simple vision: a community where food is valued and not wasted.

Founded in 2016, we rescue surplus food seven days a week from local suppliers and redistribute it through charities, community groups, schools and Foodshares. In the year to March 2026 alone, we rescued more than 270 tonnes of food, with our work reaching an estimated 4,000 people every week across Shrewsbury and the surrounding area.

We have also developed a growing programme of community cooking, bringing people together to build skills and confidence, share food and strengthen community – while ensuring that good food does not go to waste.

The opportunity

Shrewsbury Food Hub has grown significantly over the past decade. Our next Executive Director will help us build on that success while strengthening the foundations beneath it.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead an established and much-loved local charity through a period of organisational development: bringing greater clarity, focus, structure and resilience while protecting the energy, relationships and community spirit that make the Hub special.

The Board is committed to focusing increasingly on governance and delegating day-to-day leadership and management to the Executive Director. You will have the authority and responsibility to lead the organisation, work closely with our Senior Leadership Team and create the conditions in which staff and volunteers can perform at their best.

This is not a figurehead role. We need an Executive Director who can see the bigger picture, make difficult choices and turn strategy into practical action – someone equally comfortable around the Board table and spending time with the staff, volunteers and partners who make our work possible.

This role is largely based in Shrewsbury, with some home working possible. This is a strongly place-based role requiring a regular and visible on-site presence.

What you will lead

Working with the Board, staff, volunteers and partners, you will:

• Lead the development and delivery of a clear, focused and financially sustainable strategy.
• Strengthen our structures, systems, processes and ways of working, leading organisational change with clarity and sensitivity.
• Provide overall leadership for safe, reliable and effective operations and organisational risk.
• Build an inclusive, enabling and accountable culture, supporting and developing our Senior Leadership Team and wider community of staff and volunteers.
• Oversee financial sustainability and the development of a strong, balanced income base.
• Build trusted relationships with funders, suppliers, businesses, local authorities and community partners, acting as a visible and credible ambassador for the Hub.

Please see the full Job Description and Person Specification for further details.

Who are we looking for?

You will bring successful senior leadership experience from a charity, social enterprise, public service or other purpose-led organisation, together with experience of shaping strategy, leading change and turning plans into results.

You will be financially astute, pragmatic and comfortable creating clarity in a busy organisation. Above all, you will be a genuine people leader: emotionally intelligent, approachable and able to build trust across a diverse community of staff, volunteers, trustees, founders and partners.

We don't expect our new Executive Director to be a specialist in everything. You may bring particular depth in operational and organisational leadership or in income generation, fundraising and external development. What matters is that you have credible experience of the other and the leadership ability to bring different expertise together.

Previous Executive Director experience is welcome, but is not essential.

Our values

We want our new Executive Director to share our commitment to reducing food waste and strengthening our community, and to lead in a way that reflects our values:

Passion – Accountability – Inclusiveness – Integrity – Caring – Resilience

These values shape not only what we do, but how we work together. We are looking for a leader who enables others to succeed, listens to different perspectives, acts with integrity and empathy, and remains purposeful and constructive through change.

Our ambitions remain firmly rooted in place. We believe there is significant potential to deepen our environmental and social impact across Shrewsbury and Shropshire, rather than becoming a national organisation.

How to apply:

Please submit your CV and a covering letter of no more than three pages, outlining your suitability for the role, by 5pm on Friday 25 September 2026.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to visit Shrewsbury Food Hub on Monday 5 October 2026, providing an opportunity to meet the team, see the Hub in action and gain a deeper understanding of the organisation ahead of formal interviews.

Shrewsbury Food Hub values the strength that comes from different experiences and perspectives. We welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and are committed to a fair and accessible recruitment process.

Join Liver UK at an exciting point in our development.

Liver UK is the national charity for people affected by liver disease and liver cancer. We provide expert information and support, raise awareness, promote prevention and earlier diagnosis, influence policy and ensure the voices of people affected by liver disease are heard.

Following the coming together of the British Liver Trust and Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, we are now Liver UK: one charity supporting people of all ages and with all types of liver disease.

We have strong foundations, an ambitious strategy for 2026–2032 and a clear goal to make liver health a national priority. We are now moving from a period of transformation into one focused on delivery, growth and impact.

We are looking for an experienced, highly organised and confident Senior Administrator to play a central role in helping our organisation run effectively.

The role

This is much more than a traditional administration role.

You will be at the heart of our day-to-day operations, providing high-quality administrative and operational support across Liver UK and working with colleagues at all levels, including our Senior Management Team.

We are looking for someone who enjoys creating structure, improving processes and finding ways to make how we work more efficient and effective. You will manage a varied workload, keep important actions moving, coordinate organisational processes and help ensure agreed deadlines are met.

You will need to be confident and appropriately persistent. You’ll build good relationships with colleagues, while also being comfortable following things up, challenging constructively and having clear and confident conversations about deadlines, priorities and standards.

You will also provide day-to-day supervision and support to our office-based Apprentice, helping them to organise their workload, develop their skills and build confidence in their role.

What you’ll be doing

· Providing senior administrative and operational support across the charity.

· Coordinating meetings, diaries, travel, events and other organisational activity.

· Managing central telephone and shared email services.

· Proactively following up actions, information and approvals across teams.

· Supervising and supporting our Apprentice and overseeing office-based volunteers.

· Maintaining accurate information within Raiser’s Edge and other organisational systems.

· Supporting data quality, GDPR and records management.

· Managing routine supplier arrangements and office contracts, obtaining good value and negotiating where appropriate.

· Supporting staff technology and systems, including laptops and telephony administration.

· Coordinating our monthly all-staff Touchpoints.

· Supporting office facilities, health and safety, publications and stock.

· Helping improve systems, processes and ways of working across Liver UK.

About you

You will already have significant experience in a busy administration, office operations or organisational support role.

You’ll be exceptionally organised, reliable and comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting to be directed. You’ll be able to manage competing priorities, spot what needs to happen next and see tasks through to completion.

Just as importantly, you’ll have the confidence and interpersonal skills to work effectively with colleagues at all levels, combining diplomacy and positive working relationships with appropriate challenge.

You’ll have strong written and verbal communication skills, excellent attention to detail and good IT skills. Experience of databases, CRM systems or similar organisational systems is important, while experience of Raiser’s Edge, the charity sector or a health environment would be an advantage.

Experience of supervising, coaching or supporting another member of staff, apprentice or volunteer would also be valuable.

You’ll enjoy supporting someone early in their career, providing encouragement, clear expectations and constructive feedback to help them build confidence, develop their skills and succeed in their role.

Why Liver UK?

Liver disease and liver cancer are among the UK’s fastest-growing and most under-recognised health challenges. They affect people of all ages, and the need for earlier diagnosis, better treatment, prevention and support has never been greater.

This is an opportunity to join a committed national charity at an important point in its development and to take on a role where strong organisation behind the scenes has a real impact on what the wider charity can achieve.

Please apply through CharityJob with your CV and a covering letter explaining why you are interested in the role and how your experience meets the requirements set out in the Job & Person Specification.

We will review applications and interview suitable candidates as they are received, so we may close the vacancy early. We therefore encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

• BUPA Wellbeing Health Expenses plan; including dental, prescriptions and optical cover.
