Feeding Liverpool is entering a new chapter in its mission to tackle hunger and food insecurity across the city. We are strengthening our commitment to embedding Good Food principles in every aspect of Liverpool’s food system.

We are recruiting a Policy Coordinator/Lead – a strategic and collaborative thinker who will work closely with Liverpool City Council and a wide range of partners to shape food policy and drive systemic change. This role will lead initiatives to improve food provision for children and young people, influence council policies, and secure funding to advance the goals of the Good Food Plan.

We are a stable, well-funded organisation with a dynamic team, a committed Trustee board and a vibrant network of partners. Our work is rooted in the lived experience of Liverpool’s communities – from those facing food insecurity to growers, educators, businesses and community organisations. We are proud to be seen as a national exemplar for alliance-based approaches to food justice.

Yet challenges remain: Liverpool continues to face high levels of food insecurity and health inequality, and the community food movement is under pressure from inflation and supply chain issues. The Policy Coordinator/Lead will play a key role in addressing these challenges by embedding Good Food principles across council departments, leading strategic initiatives and amplifying the voices of our communities.

We encourage candidates who are passionate about food justice, policy innovation and community-led change to apply. You will be based in or near Liverpool, with the flexibility to work remotely 1 – 2 days per week, and will be expected to engage actively with our communities and stakeholders.

We also welcome expressions of interest from organisations who may wish to explore the secondment of a member of their staff into this role. Feeding Liverpool values cross-sector collaboration and recognises the potential for shared learning and impact through secondment arrangements. If your organisation is interested in exploring this opportunity, please get in touch to discuss how we might work together.

Deadline: Sunday 9th November at 11:59pm
