A super exciting opportunity to  lead, develop and manage FoodCycle’s programme team to achieve the aspirations of our organisation for  2021-2022 through Programme Development, effective coordination, consolidation, technical support and guidance by ensuring a cohesive team spirit and motivation to perform.

FoodCycle’s mission is to nourish the hungry and lonely in our communities with delicious meals and great conversation, using food which would otherwise go to waste. Currently as we transition from full lock down to normality we have two operating models;  “Check-in-and-Chat” whereby volunteers make a weekly call to guests who are lonely and “Cook and Collect” designed to provide guests with the provision of  a hot meal and additional food supplies. We anticipate being back to our community dining model across all locations by the end of August 2021.

This role reports to the CEO and is part of the SMT.  The SMT meet weekly, and you will report to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. The role takes overall responsibility for health and safety, food safety and safeguarding at projects and is pivotal  to the smooth and efficient operation of FoodCycle’s services across the country.

Are you a good fit?

You’re scrappy, and yet resourceful, you admit when you lack the an answer, and yet strive find it. You don’t grab for the low hanging fruit, but instead you shake trees.

You see a disconnect between school and the world in which we will live, you know that there are ways to connect the dots, to fulfilling and productive futures.

You want to work with a highly respected and aspirational brand, at the heart of a network of many of the UK’s leading figures and employers.

You know that technology has a significant role to play, but that human interaction and relationships are of even greater importance.

You want to feel like a valued member of a growing team, in an organisation which recognises that its people are not just a number, but its greatest asset and part of an extended family, working together to support each other to meet organisational and not just individual goals.

What is Speakers for Schools?

Founded by ITV Political Editor Robert Peston (Trustee), and chaired by Andrew Law (Caxton Associates), Speakers for Schools was created to help level the playing field for UK state schools and their students by giving them the same access to the UK’s leading figures from politics, business, science, sport, the arts and more, as that enjoyed by private schools.

Bill Gates, Baroness (Martha) Lane Fox, Professor Brian Cox, David Dein, David Cameron, Natalie Bennett, Philip Hammond, Naomi Campbell and over two thousand other influential and inspirational people, have been kind enough to volunteer their time to speak with Speakers for Schools.

Experience works with our outstanding network of speakers and partner employers to offer young people amazing work experience opportunities, which would often be out of reach to them.

Purpose of Job
 

COVID-19 has led to a steep escalation in the unemployment rate, with total UK unemployment predicted to peak at 2.2 million in Autumn and long-term unemployment expected to rise for several years to follow. The pandemic has also exacerbated existing inequalities in society, with young people, black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, women and older workers hit hardest and amplified the challenges for those who were already facing disadvantage. 

In response to this unemployment crisis, BITC has developed a coaching programme with an ambition to improve skills, wellbeing and employment outcomes for most impacted by COVID-19 by connecting them with the businesses and 1:1 support that can help. In turn, the programme will allow businesses to reach a diverse pipeline of talent, improve the accessibility of their own jobs and develop essential skills in their current and future workforce. 

Pilots will run from April until July in four areas. Over the course of the following two years, we aim to provide an initial 10,000 jobseekers in need of support with 1:1 coaching from some of the most skilled workforces in the UK, underpinned by deep-rooted regional support networks.

The purpose of this role is to further develop the proposition both strategically and operationally, supporting the successful delivery of the pilot phase and harvesting the insights from the pilot to ensure that the proposition is optimised for roll-out.  The Development Manager will provide critical additional support across all strategic and operational workstreams to ensure the success of the pilot and roll-out.
 

Main Responsibilities / Accountabilities

This role has both operational and strategic responsibilities, working as part of a cross-functional team.

Key areas of accountability are as follows:

Support the successful delivery of the pilot

• Support the delivery of each of the workstreams, feeding into communications plans, funding proposals and operational plans where required to ensure the successful delivery of the pilot.

Develop the proposition for roll-out

• Work with the project team to harvest and respond to the insights gathered from the pilot stage, in terms of operational delivery, client impact and local employer and referral partner relationships.
• Ensure that insights and feedback from all stakeholders involved in the pilot are considered and that the proposition is optimised to achieve our delivery & campaign impact targets at roll-out.
• Support the development of the overarching strategy for Skills Exchange coaching, working closely with the Employment & Skills Director.
• Develop the regional network model to drive changes in employer behaviour and improve outcomes for the programme, working closely with the campaign team and colleagues supporting our network of Regional Leadership Boards.
• Scope and provide recommendations for an ‘experts by experience’ user group to feed into and shape the programme.

ABOUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST

Women and Children First was established in 2002 to pioneer approaches that support communities to solve problems themselves. We want a world where all women, children and young people can survive and thrive.

We are pioneers at empowering local communities, enabling women to take the lead in achieving this vision through community health groups. We guide them to overcome their problems, bringing people together to find the answers they need. Our world-class approaches are effective and recommended globally.

The charity is also developing a number of new pilot initiatives and innovations, including trialling personalised calendars, giving women information about their antenatal and postnatal care appointments.

You will have responsibility for managing existing relationships and raising additional income from our database of trusts and foundations, primarily in the UK. Supported by the Head of Fundraising and Communications, you will make a significant contribution to growing our network of active support from trusts and foundations.
