Posted by Amanda on 19/06/17 in VfL News and Events

Marketing and Stewardship Executive (approx. 20 hours/week; initial 12-month contract)

VfL, a young and dynamic national charity, seeks a personable and talented marketing and stewardship executive to support its operations in Manchester.

The successful candidate will work flexibly from home and/or from our grade A office in leafy Fallowfield. Hours are flexible, but are expected to be in the region of 20 hours per week, on an initial 12-month contract.

  • £15 per hour, depending on experience.

About the Charity

Vegetarian for Life is the leading authority on diet and healthy living advice for older vegans and vegetarians.

Since there are currently only two fully vegetarian care homes in the UK, one of VfL’s major goals is to improve the standard of vegan and vegetarian catering in existing homes. We seek to do this through our UK List, which is a geographical listing of organisations and care homes that make a special effort to cater for vegetarians and vegans.

We are striving towards a vision where at least 1 in every 6 UK care homes are members of our UK List – and 1 in every 100 will be VfL accredited.

Meeting the needs of a diverse range of older people is important to us, too. You’ll help VfL become the first port of call for information, support and advice for older vegans, vegetarians, their families, friends and a broad range of care caterers.

Duties and Responsibilities: The principal duties and responsibilities are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list, and other duties and projects may be added when appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

Devise marketing strategy for approval by the board, and deliver it to time and budget, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer, Regional Directors and Roving Chef team colleagues.
