FBB is one of the leading educational charities and youth brands in the UK. Established in 2014, we have undergone impressive growth in the past couple of years and are now at an exciting stage of our journey.

● Ensure cultivation plans are in place and executed for all partnerships, with the
view of extending length, remit and value.
● Provide excellent stewardship to each corporate contact, giving them a first-class
experience of FBB.
● Work with colleagues across the organisation to leverage FBB assets and build
strong and creative partnership proposals to target CSR teams and Marketing
teams.

About FareShare UK

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to almost 11,000 frontline charities and community groups. During 2020, we redistributed 113 million meals through our FareShare Regional Centres and our retail surplus model FareShare Go, reaching over 1 million people.

Hunger is a growing issue in the UK and while there is surplus food that is otherwise going to waste, we believe that this food should be used to feed people first.

The COVID19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare’s ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide. We are fortunate to benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, sports ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement.

Reporting to the Director of Food, and working closely with the other members of the Food Team, this role will co-ordinate and oversee delivery of the activities identified to deliver the Food strategic objective which is to be the food redistribution partner of choice.  It will identify and develop innovative approaches to accessing increased volumes from both existing and new food partners as well as considering engagement and collaboration within the sector, with trade bodies and other organisations engaged with the food industry e.g. waste companies, software houses etc. 

This role will have line management responsibility for the Food Trade Marketing Manager role which will be responsible for developing our industry facing comms through all channels, ensuring our partners remain engaged and motivated as well as raising FareShare’s profile through industry facing activities and supporting the engagement through trade bodies and other relevant organisations.

We are looking for an energetic, motivated, well organised individual able to use their insight and experience to add value to the work of the food team.  This role is a great opportunity to have real impact that will benefit your colleagues, our Network partners and, most of all, make a meaningful difference to the work of the 11,000 charities who rely on us to help them improve the lives of the beneficiaries they support

Vision 2026 is an agenda for growth and change agreed by the Blackburn Diocesan Synod in 2015. It challenges our parishes to be healthy churches which can transform the communities in which they are set. It also lays out four ways in which this over-arching goal can be achieved: Making Disciples, Being Witnesses, Growing Leaders and Inspiring Children and Young People for Jesus Christ.

Two central aspirations under Vision 2026 are to see 10 new Strategic Church Plants by 2026 and to see a step change in ministry with those aged 11 - 16. Resourcing Churches are key to realising these aspirations and in early 2021 we were successful in our application for £3.5 million Strategic Development Funding from the Church Commissioners to part-fund new Resourcing Churches in Blackpool and Blackburn. The project to establish and develop these two new Resourcing Churches is titled ‘Lighting Up New Generations’ and runs from July 2021 to June 2026.

The Project Manager will manage this new project as well as playing an important role in the wider delivery of Vision 2026 through analysing and reporting on statistics and data, communicating stories relating to Vision 2026, monitoring the realisation of aspirations under the Vision 2026 Implementation Plan (2021 – 2024), and working with the Director of Vision Delivery to encourage and enable the network of volunteer Vision Champions.

We are looking for someone who is excited about the vision of seeing Healthy Churches Transforming Communities across Lancashire with a real passion for the role that Resourcing Churches can play in delivering the Vision. They will need excellent written and verbal communication skills as the role will involve regular communication and interaction with ordained and lay colleagues across the diocese and national church. Strong project management skills and experience with the ability to analyse complex datasets and produce strategically useful reports are also essential.

For an informal conversation about the role please contact: Director of Vision Delivery, Carolyn Barton, details available via the recruitment pack.

All interviews to take place at the Diocesan Offices, Clayton House, Blackburn, BB1 2QE
