About the service

Cyrenians values food beyond its role as fuel, it also sustains our mental and emotional health and plays a central role in nurturing connection within communities. This is the basis of our FareShare social enterprise. Our FareShare Central and South-East Scotland depot provides opportunities for people and organisations to access food, improve their health and wellbeing, and to develop skills and confidence.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead the FareShare Depot into the next phase of its journey. We will be moving to a larger 15,000 sq ft premises where our ambition is to distribute more fit for purpose surplus food to more organisations who work with people experiencing food poverty and food insecurity.

About you

You will be a values-led, experienced manager with a balance of excellent leadership skills and strong knowledge of logistics and warehousing.

Your project and financial management skills will be invaluable in driving our depot move forward efficiently, and your pragmatic attitude will be key to solving any problems we encounter on the way.

We’ll empower you to work independently, with a supportive senior manager, and experienced property team. We will encourage you to use your creativity to manage the FareShare Depot, innovate new activities and learn on the job.

Are you called to Mission?

You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet.

Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat leprosy and transform lives.

We are looking for an inspirational leader to develop and deliver fundraising plans in Scotland, and to provide excellent care for faithful Scottish supporters. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across Scotland.

You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising management team based in Peterborough. We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see your work first hand.

We’re looking for:

• A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches, community groups and businesses

• Proven success in fundraising

• A confident networker

• Experience of managing volunteers

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

• Willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays

• The ability to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy.

TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving people of all faiths and none. There is a genuine occupational requirement for the Scotland Country Head to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching and speaking in supporting churches.

A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.

TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign, and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.
