Feeding Families
If you are someone who can spot opportunity early, build strong relationships, and turn real-life impact into funding that delivers, this could be the role for you.
You will lead our trusts and foundations income, building a strong pipeline and securing the funding needed to sustain and grow our work across the North East.
This is not just about writing bids. It is about creating a consistent, strategic approach to funding that supports where we are going as an organisation.
You will take ownership of income, keep things moving, and make sure our work is understood, valued, and invested in.

* Lead and grow our trusts and foundations income
* Build and manage a strong pipeline of funding opportunities
* Write clear, compelling applications grounded in real impact
* Develop long-term and multi-year funding opportunities
* Build strong relationships with funders and partners
* Manage reporting, stewardship, and renewal conversations
* Work across the organisation to gather insight, data, and stories
* Line manage and support a part-time Funding Officer
* Keep a clear handle on income, performance, and what needs to shift
What we are looking for
* Someone who can turn insight into strong, fundable propositions
* A confident writer who can communicate impact clearly and persuasively
* Strong relationship builder with funders and partners
* Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple deadlines
* Comfortable taking ownership of income targets and delivery
* Able to work independently and keep momentum going
Why it matters
Demand for our work continues to grow.
This role ensures we have the funding in place to respond, not just in the short term, but in a way that builds long-term resilience.
Food can be the gateway to release from food insecurity. At Feeding Families we are more than just food.
About Feeding Families
We get the right food to the right people at the right time, but we do not stop there.
We are building something bigger. Stronger systems, better partnerships, and routes out of crisis that actually last.
Our values are simple. Dignity. Integrity. Action. Together.
If those are yours, you will fit in here.
