Job Description

  • Engaging food banks in the Trussell Trust’s campaigns
    Work with other teams to engage food banks you and your team support in the Trussell Trust’s influencing priorities and campaigns, including how they might take ownership of campaigns locally and help shape those priorities in the first place - especially when they have local campaigns that have promise to achieve impact through scale.
