About FareShare

FareShare is the UK's biggest food charity, strengthening communities reaching nearly 1 million people through over 8,000 charities with over 134 million meals.

The food we provide would cost charities and people over £184 million if they had to buy it at retail value. This saves charities an average of £154 per week, which they use to build their capacity through things like paying for overheads, training staff, and investing in new equipment and resources.

We save the UK over £225 million through 34 sites, 18 delivery partners, over 26000 volunteers and over 1000 employability programme participants. Our work reaches 99.8% of UK constituencies, strengthening those communities through outcomes like providing healthier diets, reducing isolation, and helping children do better in school.

However, there are still over 10 billion meals worth of food being wasted in the UK's supply chain every year and tens of thousands across the country we could support to do more.

Our Vision: No good food goes to waste

Our Mission: Maximize the social and environmental impact of surplus food  

Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.

Our Values:

Passion – for our cause and the challenge that lies ahead 

Ambition – to go the extra mile and drive the change that must happen

Respect – for ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our partners and our beneficiaries

Collaboration – it’s only by working with others that we can be stronger

Focus – on providing the best service possible so that we deliver and  achieve the most for our clients/customers.

The role

Our key priority at FareShare UK is to increase the amount of surplus food redistributed to the charities and community groups we support across the UK. Food partners (manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, importers, packers, catering providers, producers and others) are essential  in helping us to achieve this, providing access to food and many other strategic resources. This crucial role will focus on working with our top food partners to maximise the mutual value in the relationship through strategic and structured account management.

Everything we do is designed to help people find belonging, purpose and hope. That looks different for each person. But most of our activities are rooted in relationship – whether that’s bacon butty breakfasts, small group sessions, back-to-work projects or our annual holiday.

ACT is a registered charity with the board of trustees drawn from within the church, including the Rector. Occasionally we invite other trustees with specific expertise. ACT has a total income of around £400,000 per annum, five salaried staff, and over 100 volunteers from within the church. Staff are employed by St Aldates PCC and seconded to the ACT Charity with the Head of Charity line managed by the St Aldates COO.

ST ALDATES and ACT CHARITY

ACT has a strong connection with St Aldates Church which supports the ministry with people, practical support and use of office and gathering spaces. The Head of Charity is key to leading the outreach work of St Aldates.

As a city centre church, working alongside people who are poor or marginalised is a key part of St Aldates’ ministry and is carried out largely through ACT.

We are excited about what God is doing in our midst. We are seeing people come to faith in Jesus on a weekly basis, and we are pioneering new ways of discipling people to make a difference in every area of their lives. We are passionate about connecting with and supporting people who are street homeless and those in or leaving local prisons through our ACT ministry. 

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

Crucial to the success of ACT is the Head of Charity, who provides leadership and vision, ensures that its activities are underpinned by prayer, and that this work remains central to the ministry of St Aldates.

As the Head of Charity, you will drive the charity's mission and vision alongside the Board, ensuring our community receives the best possible support.

You will have a heart for those who have been marginalised, and experience of running a business or charity. Your role will be to lead staff and volunteers in the vision and manage funds and key projects. Partnering with others across other charities, key stakeholders and donors you will become a strong ambassador for the charity.

About the Organisation

Together We Learn is a small international development charity with a vision to break the cycle of poverty in Ethiopia by enabling disadvantaged children to access quality education.

Do you have relevant experience of working in a busy press office or a PR agency, plus a good track record of managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders? Then join Shelter as a Senior Media Officer and you could soon be playing a vital role at the heart of our Media team.

About Shelter

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.

We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the team

A key part of a broader Communications, Policy and Campaigns division, our media team serves the media needs of the whole organisation. Collaboration and relationship building skills are the name of the game, as we work closely with a broad range of internal stakeholders and external partners to generate influential coverage across Shelter’s campaigns, fundraising, community and services outputs. Our aim is to make sure housing and homelessness rides high on the political and public agenda through timely and powerful storytelling. We help Shelter to deliver change by amplifying our hard-hitting research, giving a platform to people directly impacted by the housing emergency, profiling our incredible services, capitalising on high-profile supporters and partnerships, and by swiftly seizing reactive opportunities.

About the role

If you care about storytelling, are a great team player and want to end the housing emergency, this unique opportunity to join a fast paced and high performing team with a heritage of ground-breaking campaigns is the job for you.

This senior media officer position is an exciting role that’s been created in partnership with our High Value Partnerships team to help boost the media cut through and support the smooth running of our partnerships with big brand names like Ikea, HSBC, B&Q and Marks & Spencer. It is a new role that you will have the opportunity to mould within a supportive framework and team.

But you won’t just work closely with our corporate partners and internal income generating teams, you will also have the chance to flex your skills and get stuck into a whole range of media activities that drive forward our organisational strategy. You’ll also play a big part in the day to day running of a busy press office, get to matrix manage high profile projects, and deputise for the Media Managers as necessary.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you

Creative and results driven, you have extensive knowledge of media across print, online and broadcast channels, as well as the different tools and tactics in the PR toolbox.  You know what makes something newsworthy and how to land high-impact coverage, and , you’re great at translating research and information  into pithy soundbites and key messages suitable for public audiences. What’s more you’re used to thinking on your feet and working under pressure to meet tight deadlines.

A knack for building rapport and relationships with lots of different people is essential too, as is the enthusiasm, expertise, and collaborative approach to work that can help to upskill other teams to better understand and utilise the media to meet our shared goals. Crucially, you have a keen grasp of what journalists and producers are looking for and are as comfortable speaking to a consumer journalist, as you are the policy editor of the Times– and you will know how to tailor your pitch accordingly.

Adept at managing your own time and projects, and happy to contribute new ideas and try different approaches, you also know what it takes to support, enable and motivate others. Your keen eye for risks and opportunities, and strong attention to detail will help ensure your team and colleagues deliver to a high standard. Finally, while prior knowledge of housing and homelessness is not a requirement, you must have a passion for social justice. There’s a huge amount we need to achieve together, and you’ll need to thrive on this challenge.

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
