Field Based (covering the North West)

Who Are We?

We are FareShare, the UK’s largest charity fighting hunger and food waste. We are a charitable distribution network that takes excess, in-date and good to eat food and redistributes it to other charities that turn it into meals.

The numbers say it all; in 2018 we collected 20,383 tonnes of food and we sent it to our 22 regional centres across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland that reach 1,960 towns and cities. From there, we passed the food to 10,943 different charities and community groups who turned it into 46.5 million meals for vulnerable people.

We’re an incredible organisation, multi award winners, lottery funded and a member of both the European Federations of Food Banks and The Global Foodbanking Network.

We’re now looking for a Regional Manager to continue to grow and support our Network for an 18 month fixed-term contract. Internally this role is known as a Network Development Manager.

Joining our diverse, passionate team across the North West, you will have the chance to learn everything about our operations and help to make real improvements and an impact.

At every step, you will discover new stories, fantastic work and heroic efforts from all manner of volunteers, charity workers or just those who want to help.

We understand our work makes a difference but that there is more still to do. The food surplus in the UK is phenomenal and we are working towards a target of 20-25% of all food being redistributed. Through your efforts we can achieve this this.

So, if you are a proven regional or national partnership professional with strategic level account management experience, this is the ideal role in which to continue your career track and help us to make a difference.

As a Regional Manager, you will be tasked with providing direction and support to regional staff and the FareShare Network.
