ABOUT BLACK ROOTZ
Black Rootz is a multigenerational growing project providing opportunities for Black and racially minoritised people in the food system and making the food system fairer for our communities. Black Rootz was established in 2019 by a collective of Black growers in Haringey who recognised the need to organise to address the deep inequalities in the growing and food industries. Over the past 5 years, Black Rootz has developed a food growing practice, growing spaces and community centred activities for Black and racially minoritised communities. To fully address the challenges of food and land equality, the Black Rootz approach incorporates intergenerational knowledge transfer, increased access to land, food sovereignty, regenerative environmental practices and reduced food inequality.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Black Rootz Champion roles have been created in recognition that we need greater capacity, new skills and more experience to move forward. Champions will bring additional capacity to functional areas across Black Rootz as well as strategic capacity to the project. Each Champion will have a different focus but what will be common across the roles is:
- Responsibility within a specific functional area of Black Rootz activities, either working with members of the Black Rootz team or taking on some responsibilities directly
- Participation in meetings and work supporting the strategic development and long-term sustainability of Black Rootz
The first 12-months as a Champion is likely to be focussed on securing the foundations of Black Rootz. This will involve understanding the current ways of working that exist within the project, collaborating with the team to develop more efficient systems, processes and practices, inputting into effective approaches to our work, and beginning to connect the long-term sustainability of the project with the activities being delivered now.
We are looking for up to 5 people to join this pioneering group of Back Rootz Champions. This is a new approach. We aim to be flexible and experimental, but each Champion will have a specialism across one or more functional areas, be a confident self-manager and be comfortable contributing to the project from a position of leadership. This is the first time Black Rootz will be hiring to these roles and we are excited by the prospect of having extra support and guidance as we enter a new phase of our growth. Our first set of Champions will also be excited by the prospect of positive change for Black Rootz and comfortable navigating the uncertainty that comes with establishing this new way of working. Commitment to the vision and mission of Black Rootz is essential.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Participation in strategic development and building long term sustainability
As a Black Rootz Champion you will play an important role in work that will contribute to the future success of Black Rootz. You will join monthly strategic meetings alongside Ubele leadership, representatives of the Black Rootz team and other Champions. Your experience and perspectives will contribute to the strategic development of the project and you will support any workstreams that flow from decisions made in this forum. As a part of the first group of Champions to join Black Rootz, you will have a role in setting up and establishing good practices in this forum.
Support and input into one or more functional areas
Black Rootz Champions will hold specific responsibilities in one or more functional areas of the project. The nature of your involvement will vary depending on the functional area you are supporting. You may take on direct responsibility for some duties, for example creating content and building a presence on social media. Alternatively, you may work with the team in more of a mentoring and support role, for example mentoring paid growers to support Black Rootz’ growing activity. Regardless of how you will be involved, you will bring energy, experience and initiative to your functional area.
The functional areas we are seeking support are as follows (more details available in the recruitment pack):
- Fundraising
- Business development and sales
- Growing food commercially at market garden scale
- Learning design and delivery
- Communications and marketing
- Community representation and engagement
ABOUT YOU

- Collaborative and a team player
- A proactive self-starter with the ability to work to own initiative
- Ability to contribute effectively to strategic decision making
- Ability to communicate with a wide range of stakeholders, from community members to senior leadership
- Experience or knowledge of working with Black, racially minoritised or other marginalised communities
- Commitment to Black Rootz’ vision and mission
