FareShare South West is looking for a Fundraising Manager to join our fast paced, fast growing charity and drive our fundraising strategy to the next level, so that we can get more good food to vulnerable people. 

Context of the role 

Our charity has been expanding fast over the past three years. In 2017 we were supporting around 130 charities, schools and community groups with a food supply, and stopping around 300 tonnes of quality surplus food from going to waste. In 2020, our charity looks different. Last year we supported 290 charities and distributed over 550 tonnes of surplus food (enough for over 1 million meals). We expanded our operation into new regions of the South West and launched programmes to target specific beneficiary groups (eg: vulnerable children). This year, we turned our entire operation on its head to deliver an Emergency Food Operation in response to Covid-19 in addition to our existing work- more than quadrupling in size in three short months. We have emerged a much larger charity than we were before Covid, with hundreds more charities relying on our food. Against a backdrop of unprecedented levels of food insecurity, we believe it is more important than ever to stop surplus food from becoming waste. 

Our ideal candidate

We are seeking an ambitious, creative Fundraising Manager who can apply their experience to sustainable and strategic growth across our fundraising portfolio. This includes development of existing fundraising streams as well as the creation of new processes, strategies and resources to kickstart growth of newer fundraising streams and opportunities. Alongside our Head of Development, they will build on relationships with our friends and supporters in Bristol and beyond to engage and inspire support for our work. We need a fundraiser who understands the need of our growing charity to be agile and innovotive in the context of fast-moving need and opportunity, while also instilling solid structure and process in our core fundraising activity. 

Our new Fundraising Manager will be part of our wider Development team, and will report to our Head of Development. The Development Team covers Fundraising, Communications and Membership (our Membership team looks after our 300+ charity members). We want to unite all three strands of this team to ensure our work is as joined-up as possible, delivering cross-cutting campaigns, effective communication and content that supports the sustainable growth of our charity’s income streams. Our brilliant team is our most important asset here at FareShare South West, and you will be supported and surrounded by passionate people who love what they do.

This role will be based principally at our offices in Bristol, but could include the option of working from home on occasion. This role is advertised as full time but part time working would be considered for the right candidate.

To apply, please upload a Cover Letter and CV by midday on Tuesday, October 5th 2020.

Partnership Engagement Manager – WasteAid

WasteAid - Our vision

Our vision is a world with equal access to waste services for all.

Helping communities and governments manage their waste properly is vital if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Waste management has a powerful and positive impact on people’s well-being.

Our mission – fighting poverty, pollution and climate change

Around 1 in 3 people globally do not have decent waste management.  Pollution caused by waste harms people’s health and the environment and damages the local economy. In contrast, an affordable waste management system is relatively simple to implement, improving the environment, creating jobs and protecting public health – particularly for children.

Plastic pollution in the marine environment is of major global concern, and WasteAid is helping tackle this global problem. We work with upstream and coastal communities to set up small recycling centres and help keep plastic out of rivers and the oceans. We also share skills in managing organic waste, helping people make the most with their resources.

Open dumping and burning of waste releases climate change emissions, contribute to both short-term and long-term impacts. Black soot from burning and methane from open dumping are of special concern. We offer communities a safe and sustainable alternative to dangerous dumpsites and toxic air pollution.

Our values

Our founding principles come from our origins in the waste management industry, which itself grew out of the public health movement in the UK in the late Victorian era. 

We believe in equality of access to decent public health for all people and advocate the role of good waste management to achieve this.

We are inclusive and empowering of the communities in developing countries that we seek to serve and support.

We believe in the power of appropriate technology transfer, training and skills development to create livelihoods and reduce pollution.

We are collaborative and work in a collegiate spirit with all partners and funders.

Our priorities for 2020-2023

• Focus on developing sustainable livelihoods through community-level interventions and make further strides in working with policy makers at local and national level.
• Address all common waste streams.
• Build on projects in Africa and Asia but do not exclude opportunities to partner with organisations elsewhere.
• Empower communities to act themselves (through campaigns and waste management activities).

We will continue to campaign to encourage the donor community to increase spending on waste management from 0.3% to 3% of international aid.

We recognise that dynamic partnerships amplify our impact, so we will continue to:

• partner with established groups in lower- and middle-income countries to share skills and knowledge about local and low-cost sustainable waste management.
• support other international non-governmental organisations to build their capacity using evidence-based approaches to sustainable waste management.
• cooperate with individuals and businesses who want to help address the global waste crisis.

We will maintain a geographical and thematic focus:

Primary focus: We will continue to build on our two-year UK Aid grant-funded projects in West, East and Central sub-Saharan Africa, developing these partnerships as regional hubs of expertise / training centres and developing networks of practitioners. Pursue opportunities to develop additional grant-funded initiatives in these geographical regions.

Corporate partnerships and service delivery: We will work with others to deliver training and capacity building programmes in any community in a lower- or middle-income country that does not have an effective waste management service (where open dumping and burning are the norm).

Online resources: We will seek to inspire communities to act and to advocate for sustainable waste management in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, through providing free and accessible online resources and engagement.

Person Specification

We are looking to recruit a dynamic, motivated and experienced professional to develop our income generation strategy across a variety of income streams (predominantly corporate partnerships and through trusts and foundations).  

To be successful you will have a proven experience in income generation with good influencing skills, the confidence to implement and develop fundraising strategies, be able to demonstrate excellent stewardship, have a successful track record of building successful relationships and having a collaborative nature.
