Contract: Permanent

Hours – Full time (35 hours)

Salary - £38,895-£40,943 per annum

We welcome applications from all backgrounds. We are a Disability Confident Employer that welcome disabled applicants and provide reasonable adjustments.

Main purpose of this role 

This role will enhance FareShare’s internal communications and strengthen connections across FareShare internal network, ensuring consistent, effective communication with network partners. The successful candidate will be essential in developing and implementing communication strategies that engage and inform internal and external stakeholders.

About FareShare 

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, comprising 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good-quality surplus food from across the food industry and distribute it to 8,500 frontline charities and community groups.

The food we redistribute is nutritious and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. We provide enough food weekly to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people. 

Every year, more than three million tonnes of food go to waste in the UK, enough for 7 billion meals. Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis is driving millions into food insecurity. 

We are fortunate to benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement. As a result, there has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness. 

FareShare’s vision 

Our vision is of a UK where ‘No good food goes to waste’. 

Our mission is to use surplus, fit-for-consumption food to feed the vulnerable in the UK by supporting frontline charitable organisations that tackle the cause of poverty rather than just the symptoms.

Background

Our vision is that patients around the world with end-stage kidney failure will have the option of a kidney transplant locally and the chance of a life free of a dialysis machine. TLC helps to save and transform lives directly, and through transfer of skills, helps many more in the future

At TLC, we support the development of ethical, sustainable living and deceased donor kidney transplant programs, through collaboration with our specialist transplant volunteers from the UK NHS. Through various teaching methods and resources, including travel to partner centres, we empower overseas healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Primary accountabilities include: the completion of missions within a given time frame; abiding by the policies and procedures in place to ensure the safety of TLC volunteers and staff; identifying and managing risks within programs and proposing mitigation strategies; moving each partner centre through the phases of development as per the strategy; assessing prospective partner centres; progress reporting and communicating performance; managing budgets and resourcing requirements

Example tasks include meeting online with partner centres; writing plans and budgets for overseas missions; meeting online with a current or potential sponsor of a partner centre; liaising with TLC volunteers; facilitating meetings with key stakeholders; making in person visits in UK and abroad; working with TLC volunteers to design itineraries for upcoming observerships; preparing performance reports on centre progress and KPI’s
