Description
Help tackle child food insecurity by working directly with schools, building relationships, capturing impact, and supporting community fundraising that drives real change.
This is an opportunity to join a growing charity at a pivotal moment and play a key role in expanding a national programme supporting children and families across the UK.
MCKS Charitable Foundation works with schools to provide pantry and breakfast support to families experiencing food insecurity. We currently support over 180 schools and are now scaling our work towards 500+ schools nationally.
We’re looking for a Schools, Community & Impact Manager to help us strengthen our relationships with schools, understand how our support is being used, and capture the stories and data that allow us to grow our impact.
This is a varied, outward-facing role where you’ll work directly with schools, build trusted relationships, and ensure we are delivering support in the most effective way possible.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll sit at the centre of the programme, working across schools, impact and community engagement.
You will:
- Build strong relationships with schools and act as their main point of contact
- Support new schools joining the programme and help them get set up effectively
- Work with schools to understand how many pupils and families are being supported
- Identify what’s working well across schools and share best practice
- Gather impact data, case studies and stories to support fundraising and reporting
- Help develop a fair and effective funding model based on need
- Encourage schools to run simple fundraising activities within their communities
- Support wider fundraising activity by providing insight, stories and engagement
Why this role matters
This role is critical to how the charity grows.
The insights, relationships and impact evidence you build will directly support fundraising—helping us secure the funding needed to reach more children and families.
Put simply:
without strong school relationships and clear impact, we can’t grow.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is:
- A natural relationship builder, confident working with schools and communities
- Curious and analytical, with the ability to understand patterns and identify insights
- A strong communicator, particularly when writing case studies and reports
- Organised and able to manage multiple relationships at once
- Proactive and comfortable working independently in a small team
You may have experience in schools, charities, community work, or partnership-based roles—but just as important is your ability to build trust and understand people.
Why join us
- Be part of a growing charity making a real difference to children and families
- Play a key role in shaping a programme that is scaling nationally
- Work flexibly within a small, supportive team
- Opportunity to influence how impact is measured and communicated
