Food Project Officer

Background

For many years Green Christian has advocated the consumption of sustainable food, framing this work around principles known as LOAF: Locally produced, Organically grown, Animal friendly and Fairly traded.

Progress towards sustainable food and farming in the UK has been limited. There's little evidence to suggest that Christians or church-based organisations have adopted attitudes and behaviour that differ markedly from the general population. We believe that by encouraging sustainable food and farming practices we would enable God's creation to flourish. Our Food Project was recently established to -

-Review Green Christian's current food and farming activities and resources.
-Increase public awareness and understanding of Christian attitudes to food and farming.
-Campaign nationally and locally for sustainable food and farming.
-Assess the need for funding to develop a three year Green Christian initiative on sustainable food and farming based on the above activities and clearly defined aims.
-Job purpose

The aim of this role is to enable Green Christian to develop activities aimed at sustainable food and farming. You will help us to critically review our current activity and resources in this area, increase public awareness and understanding of Christian attitudes to food and farming, engage with relevant organisations, and contribute to campaign activity.

Salary and hours

The salary is £12.50 per hour. This is a part-time role, initially for 3.5 hours per week. The Food Project Officer will be an employee of Green Christian and the post is for one year initially, with the possibility of extension. Work will take place from your home and on Zoom. Some occasional travel may be required, for which expenses will be paid.
