Job Purpose
· To manage the delivery of Young Marketeers in Knowsley in five primary schools
Background to School Food Matters
At School Food Matters we believe that school food can unlock a happier, healthier, more sustainable future for every child. We want a school food system that delivers for all children, so they can enjoy nutritious, delicious and sustainable school food and leave school with an informed and positive relationship with food. To achieve this, we campaign for a better school food system, bringing the voices of children, parents, and teachers to government policy, and deliver fully funded food education programmes in schools across the country.
Young Marketeers
This much-loved programme was started in London in 2012. It is now running in 16 cities across England. We have been commissioned to deliver the programme in Knowsley by Knowsley Public Health. The programme provides hands-on opportunities for children from primary schools to grow fruit and veg from seed to sell at their local market. Young Marketeers is also a platform for School Food Matters to promote food education to schools and communities as a way to support children to live happy and healthy lives. Children learn the art of growing veg from seed, and market traders will share their secrets on how to create a winning market stall. Primary schools will be visited by our gardener in March/April and then again in May/June and receive further tips on how to ensure a bumper crop. Then in July, they head to the market to sell their produce, and to meet the Mayor!
Key Tasks include:
· Assist with recruitment of five schools to take part in Young Marketeers
· Build and maintain relationships with teachers, teaching assistants and senior leaders to ensure the smooth running of the project
· Build and support relationships with contacts in partner organisations
· Schedule, organise and deliver
o One assembly in each school
o Two food growing sessions in each school
o One market trader training session in each school
o Market Day in the city centre in July for all schools
· Maintain accurate records relating to the programme
- Complete monitoring and evaluation forms in accordance with instructions from our Evaluation team
- Take photos of workshops and events where possible
- Keep Project Coordinator fully updated on progress
· Keep up to date with safeguarding requirements and reporting procedures
- Maintain the ethos of the charity and positively promote our work at all times

About the role
We are recruiting for a Head of Supporter Experience and Optimisation to join on a permanent contract. This is newly created role and will be home-based, working full-time, 35 hours per week, with occasional travel required for team and stakeholder meetings and events.
The last few years have seen unprecedented growth in the public profile of dementia, driven in part by the growing size, impact and ambition of Alzheimer’s Society - the UK’s leading dementia charity. We now need to ensure that everyone who needs dementia support today can access it, while improving our ability to attract, engage and retain the donors, volunteers and campaigners who so generously give money, time and voice to deliver enduring change.
As Head of Supporter Experience and Optimisation you will lead the strategic alignment and continuous improvement of how we deliver for our supporters (donors, campaigners, volunteers), transforming how we work across the Income and Engagement directorate. You will bring together our critical enabling functions focused on performance, planning and reporting; supporter experience delivery and improvement; administration and people development. We are looking for you to drive a joined-up approach to transformation that enhances both internal effectiveness and external impact.
You’ll champion a seamless, meaningful supporter journey, ensuring every interaction reflects our values and strengthens engagement, with a clear focus on improving the end-to-end supporter experience. You’ll embed a culture of insight-led decision making, collaboration, accountability, operational excellence and learning, ensuring our people are empowered to thrive and deliver their best to help end the devastation of dementia.
At all times, you’ll act as a passionate, articulate champion of the importance of our supporter’s experience. You will be a key stakeholder and build strong relationships across the Society, ensuring processes, systems and tools are developed with the ultimate goal of always improving the experience of all our supporters.
We have provisionally scheduled the first stage of interviews for this role to take place on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th December.
There will be a Q&A webinar for this role taking place on 18th November 4pm - 5pm where you will be able to anonymously ask questions about the role and team. To request an invitation to the webinar, please email [email protected]
About you
We are looking for a dynamic leader with exceptional people skills and a proven ability to inspire, motivate, and develop high performing teams.
Joining us, you’ll have experience in developing and implementing strategies spanning a variety of functions with variable short and long-term goals. You’ll have a deep understanding of the drivers behind supporter / customer loyalty to an organisation or cause with experience using data, insight, and experimentation to test and refine supporter / customer experiences.
Crucially, you’ll be able to adopt a holistic and collaborative approach, and you’ll have the project management and planning experience required to drive change, optimise processes and assess their impact across our directorate. You’ll embody our value of being ‘determined to make a difference’ with a proactive, adaptable and pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to making improvements. You’ll be able to build positive relationships, influence key stakeholders and use your communication and leadership skills to manage and motivate cross-functional teams.
You don’t need to have a background in the charity sector, and you may or may not have a connection to dementia. We welcome applications from anyone who feels they have relevant, transferrable skills that will enable you to succeed in this role. We hope the Society’s purpose and ambition resonates with you, and you’ll be motivated to help develop and optimise our processes and systems to ensure a brilliant experience for all our supporters.
What you’ll focus on:
- Developing and delivering a transformation roadmap for the Income and Engagement directorate that aligns with directorate and Society priorities, with a clear focus on improving all touch points of a supporter experience.
- Championing a supporter-first mindset across all teams, ensuring that every process and interaction is designed to enhance supporter satisfaction and loyalty.
- Using insight and feedback to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation, driving a culture of marginal gains and agility across Income and Engagement.
- Overseeing the ongoing development, improvement and implementation of robust performance frameworks, enabling clear planning, tracking, and reporting of impact of activity across Income and Engagement.
- Building and fostering strong relationships across the Society to ensure alignment and buy-in for transformation initiatives that improve the supporters experience and our operational excellence.
- Fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing team culture that supports innovation and growth.
