Campaign Coordinator (E3462) - Leeds North And West Foodbank

Do you want to work on ending food bank use, one of the British public’s key issues for the UK General election?

Do you share Trussell Trust’s vision of ‘ending the need for food banks’? Well, this could be the role for you!

We are looking for a motivated candidate, who is keen to work across multiple constituencies, to try and influence prospective parliamentary candidates (PPC’s) across the political spectrum. This is a nonpartisan role, with the needs of food banks, and those who use food banks, at the centre.

Role outline and purpose

The food bank Campaign Coordinator is responsible for delivering Trussell’s influencing and mobilising work, in their target area, during (pre and post) the General Election. You will do this by building strong relationships with other food banks in your Combined Local Authority.

Campaign Coordinators implement Trussell’s national General Election strategy, by using organising techniques to put pressure on PPC’s in each Combined Local Authority. You will build and lead local community teams who support ending the need for food banks, securing commitments from your PPC’s to ‘prioritise the problem of people going without essentials if re/elected, acknowledging the role social security needs to play in tackling it.’

Whilst the post holder is to be employed by Leeds North and West Foodbank the role will cover the West Yorkshire Combined Authority; so you will engage in work with other food banks within the West Yorkshire area. This role is funded by the Trussell Trust as part of their General Election strategy, and you will be part of a network of Campaign Coordinators around the UK doing this work. You will be the link between your food bank(s) and the Mobilisation team at Trussell Trust, as we build a movement to end the need for food banks. The contract is Fixed Term 12 Months June 2024 to May 2025.
