Feeding Britain is working towards a future where no one in the UK goes hungry, and where food banks are a thing of the past.

We are recruiting a Policy and Advocacy Officer to work with the National Director on:

• engaging with MPs and Peers on debates, written and oral questions, and legislative proposals relating to the drivers of hunger and food poverty among children and young people
• co-designing the further development of programmes such as free school meals, Healthy Start, and school holiday provision
• producing policy briefings and updates with the Feeding Britain network

We are also recruiting a Programme Director to oversee Feeding Britain's Good Food Scotland programme, with a focus on:

• liaising with the Scottish Government, and Members of the Scottish Parliament, on the next steps toward ending the need for food banks and pursuing the Good Food Nation plan
• budgetary and fundraising activity to sustain the Good Food Scotland programme
• creating Good Food Scotland as an autonomous charity within the wider Feeding Britain network

Person specification for both roles:

• An ability to manage competing priorities and a busy workload.
• Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal.
• Strong numerical skills including confidence working with data in spreadsheets.
• Highly motivated with an ability to work well independently and as part of a small team.
• Very confident with IT including the full Microsoft and Google packages, in particular the use of spreadsheets and shared documents.
• A firm understanding of, and commitment to, Feeding Britain’s vision and strategic priorities.
• Ideally, but not necessarily, previous experience in a policy-focused role and/or a charitable organisation.
