Job description
We are looking for a Food Enterprise Coordinator/ Lead- someone who will work collaboratively with existing partners and forge new relationships with local food businesses and enterprises to drive change in the food sector, embedding good food principles and practices throughout the supply chain and helping shape how people in Liverpool access food.
This is a new role at Feeding Liverpool. Therefore, we are open to hearing from candidates with diverse experiences about their ideas detailing how they would take this work forward. We would like candidates to think specifically about the following goals, set out in the Good Food Plan:
The role will enable the food alliance in Liverpool to embrace new voices and the perspectives of Liverpool’s social enterprises and local food businesses- an essential step in creating a more equitable food system for everybody in the city.
This is an exciting time to join our movement. The organisation is in excellent health, with secure, stable funding and fresh leadership from our Director, Keenan Humble. We have a creative and dynamic staff team, a strong Trustee board and a fantastically committed group of partners and member organisations.
Liverpool is full of inspirational people who are active in building a city where everybody has access to good food. Our work is led by their voices; therefore it is essential that the successful candidate is able to work collaboratively within our city-wide partnership. It is equally important that the post-holder is able to develop relationships within national networks, seeking inspiration and guidance from other parts of the country, to support Feeding Liverpool’s role in leading the Good Food Plan, and to act as a conduit for resources and inform work in Liverpool.

The Food Enterprise Coordinator/Lead will need to be hands-on and active within our communities. Feeding Liverpool aims to work flexibly with employees, and there will be the opportunity to work from home.
