We're about fuller plates, fuller communities, and fuller lives.

The Community Coordinator will work across their designated area, with the following key outcomes

Charity Welcoming and Engagement:
You will carry out Welcome Visits to new charities and be responsible for ensuring that coverage KPIs are reached and maintained for both new and existing retailers. Using your analysis of charity needs, plus your knowledge of retailer and store profiles, you will use these visits to maximise the offer to charities, ensuring the service meets their requirements.

Community Capacity Building:
As part of the Welcome Visit and building relationships with charities, you will seek opportunities to enable and empower charities to increase their capacity and ability to take more food, more often, to ultimately increase the redistribution of surplus food to those in need.

Sustainability and Compliance:
You will work with your Regional Manager and team to identify stores where re-engagement activities are needed to improve charity coverage and charity compliance. Liaising with the Central Team, you will work to maximise the amount of food collected by charities with lower levels of compliance, providing face to face interventions as necessary. You will also be responsible for undertaking annual food safety checks within the agreed timeframe.

Plus you will be responsible for maintaining regular contact with the relevant retail stakeholders in your region, sensitively dealing with any issues in a professional manner, as and when they arise.

Fare Share Network Engagement:
We aim to become 'one Fare Share'. These roles are an integral part of our Fare Share network and you will partner closely with the Regional Centre(s) in your areas. You will work on joint initiatives which improve and grow the Fare Share community, ensuring that charities have access to the Fare Share service which best meet their needs.

Community Engagement:
You will work with your regional team to ensure that we are continuing to build and grow the Fare Share community. You will take an active role in leading community events and networking activities, relying on the Central Team to support you in the organisation of these events.
