About The Felix Project 

 

The Felix Project is a dynamic, ambitious charity working to make London a city where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.  

 

We rescue high quality, fresh and nutritious food that cannot be sold from nearly 500 suppliers including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis. We sort and deliver this food to charities, schools and community projects supporting London’s most vulnerable people.  

This year we expect to rescue 13,000 tonnes of food to redistribute to more than 1,000 London frontline charities and primary schools in every borough of London. That’s enough food to make more than 30 million meals.  

 

The Felix Project is growing fast in response to huge demand. Set up in 2016, we now have around 160 staff working alongside 8,500 volunteers. We have four main operating depots spread across London - in Deptford, Enfield, Park Royal and Poplar. We’re committed to ensuring our different teams work hand-in-hand, so our main hot-desking spaces are built into these depots.  

 

Alongside our large-scale, depot-based operations we have green ‘point-to-point' food redistribution projects in central London and Canary Wharf. In Poplar, we operate a commercial Kitchen which uses surplus food to cater for up to 5,000 individual meals per day.  

 

 

Purpose of the Job 

 

The Felix Project is looking for a talented individual ambitious to grow their experience in Corporate Fundraising. The role will sit within our growing Corporate Partnerships Team as part of the wider Income Generation & Marketing Team. The role holder will support on implementing our corporate partnerships strategy and take an active role in working alongside our existing corporate partners. There will also be a requirement to support our Corporate Partnerships Managers on implementing our New Business Strategy to create an active pipeline of future opportunities. 

 

There will be a focus on management of the corporate pipeline and highlighting relevant opportunities to the wider team. As a growing team we have networks and pipelines in place but there will be a requirement for the post holder to innovate and develop new ways of working in-line with the fast-paced operational requirements of the charity. Alongside these responsibilities there will be a requirement to support on some of the day-to-day administration tasks within the team. 

 

This is an exciting opportunity for a Corporate Fundraiser looking to take the next step in their career to build and develop new high value corporate relationships across a number of sectors.

For this reason, we actively encourage people to apply if they think they can do the role, even if they do not meet all of the requirements. We are also keen to encourage applications from those with identities that are currently underrepresented within the charity sector.
