Finance and Operations Coordinator at Feeding Liverpool

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:

• Goal 4- Shifting Policy & Practice
• Goal 5- Connecting the Community

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.

Main Purpose of the Job:

• To support the development of a network of food businesses with the aim of establishing and embedding healthy and sustainable practices and values.
• Develop relationships with stakeholders within the food system to support the creation of shorter and more value based supply chains.
• Develop initiatives, campaigns and strategies to promote good food businesses to the public.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop a network of food businesses with the aim of establishing and embedding healthy and sustainable practices and values.

• Be the food alliance’s main point of contact for Liverpool’s social, small and medium enterprises in the food sector.
• Arrange and facilitate regular meetings to understand the challenges and priorities of the sector and how the food alliance can support them.
• Work with existing partners to develop a Good Food Business Charter, and support other local food enterprises to become network members and adopt the principles set out in the charter.

Develop relationships with stakeholders within the food system to support the creation of shorter and more value based supply chains.

• Alongside key stakeholders, develop a shared definition of what ‘local food’ is, taking into account the capacity of the local supply chain and the needs of procurers.
• Work alongside local food system ‘actors’ to establish connections between procurers and the local supply chain, and identify barriers that require mitigation.
• Support innovative ways to support local, value based supply chains taking effect.
• Provide support for both established and newly developed local food access initiatives — including markets, food hubs, and community retail schemes — that enhance community access to healthy and sustainable food.

Develop initiatives and campaigns to promote good food businesses to the public.

• Explore existing activities that promote good food enterprises to the public in Liverpool, and align them to the Good Food Plan and Sustainable Food Place Silver Award application.
• Promote Liverpool’s good food enterprises to the public through well-aligned campaigns, events, and communications.
