Chief Executive

Welcome

Edinburgh Food Project is a well established, well respected and well known charity which has both grown and flourished over the last decade, and been able to respond to an ever-increasing need for its services.

Thousands of people in Edinburgh have received immediate and ongoing relief thanks to our network of foodbanks, while many, many others have been able to access additional financial and practical support thanks to our excellent money advice service.

EFP simply could not deliver its services without the generous support of partners and donors, and an inclusive, truly collaborative approach to partnership building is a must- have quality from the new CEO.

As part of a wider network of organisations we are also proud of our commitment to advocating for long term change to help address the city’s deep-rooted problems with poverty and inequality. There is significant scope to develop EFP’s commitment to change in line with national objectives to reduce poverty and disadvantage.

EFP’s most recent business strategy is in year 2 of implementation, and the organisation can only continue to thrive with the input of new leadership, fresh ideas and a new set of skills. This is an ideal time for the new CEO to take the organisation onto the next chapter of its ongoing adventures.

The Project also boasts an excellent, committed staff team and a large and loyal bank of volunteers all of whom can benefit from new ideas and approaches. The new CEO should share the commitment and energy of the EFP family, and be prepared to nurture and lead them into the next phase.
