Advertiser's description (via Sustain)
Bridging the Gap is an exciting new initiative for Sustain, working in partnership with Alexandra Rose Charity, Growing Communities (as part of the Better Food Traders Network) and partners in the four Nations, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Bridging the Gap aims to demonstrate how to build better supply chains that connect climate-friendly food and people on a lower income. It will also identify and advocate for financial interventions and other mechanisms to enable its work to continue in the longer term. Bridging the Gap will run and test pilot interventions over three years, with the possibility of the work, funding and post being extended for a longer period.
The Programme Coordinator will set up and lead this exciting new initiative. This is a new programme leadership role at Sustain, working closely with and reporting to our Programmes Director. We have ambitions for Bridging the Gap to grow into a significant multiple-partner, longer-term programme for Sustain and our alliance, working across the UK.
The person appointed to the role will build great relationships with and between many organisations, inside and outside of our existing alliance, to achieve a shared vision. We are especially keen to work with under-represented communities, and with organisations led by and serving ethnically diverse communities.
Sustain is seeking a Programme Coordinator with exceptional networking, project management and communication skills, who is excited by the challenge and opportunities presented by a programme trying to bring about societal change through the food system. They will have the confidence, energy and drive to cultivate a shared vision, spirit of enquiry and effective implementation to enable change.
