Our Vision: A UK where “No good food goes to waste”. 

FareShare is a national network of 18 independent UK charitable food redistributors.  Together, we provide good quality surplus food from right across the food industry to approximately 8,500 frontline charities and community groups, liberating over £150M in funds they would otherwise need to spend on food for the vital work they do to strengthen their communities.

There has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness.  For more information visit our website.

FareShare is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds and abilities and as a Disability Confident Employer, we provide reasonable adjustments.

• Train in new processes ahead of project trials
• Consider in all cases how to maximise incremental food supply from the project
• Support integration planning to hit project milestones

Person Specification 

 Essential Criteria 

• Minimum 5 years business analysis experience in a food manufacturing business, including support for complex technology projects
• Patient and supportive interviewing style and peer training skills with demonstrable results in prior projects

• Experience in business process design
• Experience working with Material Requirements Planning and ERP systems
• Experience working with SalesForce and Microsoft Dynamics

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles.

Please let us know how we can make the recruitment process more accessible for you by emailing the People team (please see the job pack for contact details).

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.
