Job description
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.
Overview of role:
To support the central London operation at The Felix Project with the management and upkeep of their fleet and equipment. The fleet of five electric vans need to be maintained on a regular basis to keep them fully operational and in good condition for volunteers to use on collection and delivery routes. This will include predominately the charging of the vehicles, inventory checks, cleaning, and vehicle health checks. Other equipment and resources including courier bags used on walking/cycling routes also need to be maintained on a regular basis. The role will also support on various other projects that may arise as well as completing collection and delivery routes as a driver when required.
The main responsibility will be to ensure the vans and equipment are charged, safe, and clean for volunteers to use on their routes.
