Job description
About our Organisation
The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.
We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn't do any of this without our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world where it’s needed the most.
About the Opportunity
Soil Association Food for Life (FFL) is an exciting and fast-growing programme that is about making good food the easy choice for everyone and reconnecting people with where their food comes from. We work with schools, early years settings, caterers, communities and whole places, helping them raise food standards and build food knowledge and skills through a ‘whole setting approach’. Lancashire County Council Public Health department has commissioned Food for Life to deliver an ambitious two-year programme to work with schools, early years settings and community groups to embed the Food for Life approach to good food across the county and drive positive outcomes for public health, the local economy and the environment.
