About the Felix Project

The Felix Project is London's biggest food redistribution charity and the largest end-to-end food redistribution charity in Europe. 

Our vision is a London where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.  

We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets, restaurants and farms. This food is nutritious, in-date, and safe and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. If we did not rescue this food, it would be at risk of going to waste. Instead, we deliver it free of charge to London charities, schools, food banks, food hubs and other organisations serving people in need. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers.   

We were founded in 2016 in memory of Felix Byam Shaw, by his father, entrepreneur Justin Byam Shaw.

Purpose of the Job

The Green Scheme operates point-to-point collection and delivery routes throughout the day and into the evenings (up until approx. 21:30). The purpose of this role will be to oversee out of hours routes in the evening, covering up until the latest route start time of 19:30.

The role will be involved in all aspects of co-ordination for Green Scheme operational activities. The role will be key in ensuring routes (predominantly evening routes) operate as smoothly as possible to ensure we deliver as much food as we are able to. 

You will be a key contact for relevant partners on routes (volunteers, food suppliers, community organisations) and the main point of contact for out of hours routes. You will communicate changes and update all partners where necessary and provide support to volunteers undertaking routes to ensure they have a positive volunteer experience.
