About FareShare

FareShare is the UK’s largest food redistribution charity, working with a network of 18 independent organisations to make sure good quality surplus food reaches people who need it most, rather than being wasted. We rescue food from farms, factories, supermarkets and food outlets and send it to almost 9,000 charities working on the frontline to support their communities. FareShare food nourishes people in need and connects them with vital support services to help them build a brighter future.

Every day, millions of people skip meals or go without any food, driven to food insecurity by the cost of living crisis. Yet at the same time, over three million tonnes of good to eat food goes to waste in the UK – enough for 7 billion meals.

 In 2023/24, FareShare redistributed enough food for almost 135 million meals, but we know there is more food out there that could be used to support communities in need rather than needlessly wasted. This is an exciting time to join FareShare, as we embark on a new, ambitious three-year strategy that will maximise the social and environmental impact of rescuing surplus food.

 
FareShare’s Strategy & Vision

Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

 Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting frontline charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.

 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.

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

 The role

We’re seeking a Volunteering and Participation Coordinator to join our fantastic Volunteering and Participation team!

As our organisation grows we want to ensure we are consistently providing a great experience for volunteers and lived experience participants, right through from recruitment and onboarding, to providing support and enabling them to be ambassadors for the charity once they move on.

We have brought the areas of volunteering and participation of people with lived experience in our work, together in this role and team. We see these areas as having some points of distinctions, and also that many of the approaches and policies underpinning them are the same. We want to prioritise the same enabling and impactful approach, which values diversity, in both. 

PCUK has made a commitment to diversifying and building the participation of people with lived experience across all levels of our work. We already do lots of great things, but we are committed to doing more and to ensuring that people with lived experience are regularly involved from the start in shaping projects and working alongside staff with learnt experience and in meaningful ways.

We are a new team and you will work closely with the Volunteering and Participation Manager to introduce new processes and resources, and the People and Culture Administrator who handles volunteer and participation enquiries. This is an exciting time to join, with lots of opportunity to grow the diversity of the volunteers and participants involved, as well as the range of opportunities they are involved with.  You will recruit and onboard volunteers and participants directly and create new ways to keep them engaged and updated with the charities work and further opportunities. As well as work with colleagues across different teams to develop new roles and opportunities for volunteers and participants.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates who consider themselves to be from backgrounds which are under-represented in the charity sector.

This is a part time role (17.5 hours per week) which can be worked across 3 or 4 days, working from home and from our office in central London. There will be the opportunity to discuss working hours and hybrid working at interview and we can be flexible according to your preferences, as long as the needs of the role are met.

About You

• Is passionate about making a difference for volunteers and those affected by Pancreatic Cancer who want to participate in our work and supporting them to have a positive experience   
• Has experience of either developing and/or supporting volunteering or participation programmes and is keen to develop their knowledge in the area (volunteering or participation) they have less experience in.
• Is excited by the opportunity to find new ways to engage different people with our volunteering and participation opportunities and to welcome and support them in an inclusive way.

If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!

About Working for Us 

This is a fast-paced and growing organisation that is really committed to making a difference. Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We will support you and develop you should you wish this, and you get the opportunity to be involved in activities outside the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and matters. 

  About Us  

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values: 

• Courageous
• Collaborative
• Compassionate

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values. 

At PCUK our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices. 

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and  background can think of no better way to do this than by ensuring that this role fully represents our intent therefore we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector. 

How to apply 

• You can download the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the role. If you have any questions about this role that we’ve not answered, please get in touch with us.
