Cambridge, United Kingdom Sustain: the alliance for better food and farming Full time

About this role

The Diversity Outreach Coordinator is a new role for Sustain, aiming to help us build better
opportunities, connections and allyship. We want our work to involve and support people and
communities experiencing inequity due to structural injustice, and with people with experience,
identities and from backgrounds that are currently under-represented in our sector. In
particular, Sustain recognises the extent and depth of racial and economic injustice in the
food system, hence the particular focus on these issues within this role.

The Diversity Outreach Coordinator role will evolve, and the person appointed will work with
the senior leadership team and others at Sustain to shape the role over time. However, as this
is a big theme, we want the person to be able to have a clear focus on some key objectives over

**the next two years, namely**:
Building positive relationships with young adults, and with organisations and institutions
who work with young adults. In the first instance, this will be mainly in the higher education
sector and potentially other relevant sectors, aiming to inform and inspire young adults on
food and farming that is better for people, equity and the planet, and link them with
opportunities to get involved.

Building positive relationships and working connections with organisers and organisations
that have backgrounds, identities, experiences and perspectives that are currently
under-represented in our sector; and to link them with opportunities to get involved with our
projects and campaigns and to influence, contribute to and benefit from the work of Sustain and
our alliance.

Building understanding, momentum and skills within Sustain and among Sustain alliance
members and allies on diversity outreach and related matters, organising and running sessions
of the Food Learning Forum to cover relevant issues.

In all of the above key areas, we will prioritise outreach to, and opportunities for, people
from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds; and people from economically disadvantaged
backgrounds (with some intersection, but this is not assumed; and this could develop into work
focusing on other aspects of diversity in future). The Diversity Outreach Coordinator will
organise a working party to help pursue these goals, for mutual benefit and support. They might
also establish and work with an advisory group of people with lived experience of matters
relevant to the work, to ensure that our work is grounded in authenticity and good practice.

Tasks and responsibilities
The Diversity Outreach Coordinator will have a
varied and stimulating workload and will work in collaboration with Sustain’s senior leadership
team and rest of the staff, alliance members and allies, as well as the identified target
audiences. Over the first two years of this new role, the main tasks and responsibilities will

**be**:
1. Diversity outreach with young adults
Develop, organise and promote a speaker programme creating platforms for people in our
movement to inform and inspire young adults on food and farming that is better for people,
equity and the planet. This programme will engage with organisations that work with young
adults, making special efforts to include and support speakers and audiences from diverse
backgrounds and identities.
Develop Sustain’s existing and new relationships with higher education institutions (and
potentially other organisations who, for example, focus on youth training and employment) and
connect young adults - especially those from diverse backgrounds and identities - with learning
opportunities, practical experience and work experience in the healthy and sustainable food and
farming sector.
Work with Sustain’s Administration and Finance Officer to develop, promote and review
Sustain’s jobs website Roots to Work systematically, including making this more relevant and
engaging for young people and people with diverse backgrounds, characteristics and identities.
opportunities to get involved with paid work, training, volunteering, campaigns, events and
other relevant initiatives.
Lead on developing work experience and/or paid internship opportunities, including
fundraising to enable this.
2. Outreach to organisers and organisations

Undertake some research, or synthesis of existing research, to help understand why some
people and communities are currently under-represented in our sector.

Cultivate warm and mutually beneficial relationships with organisations led by and/or
representing people and communities currently under-represented in our sector.

Encourage and facilitate involvement and representation of these organisations in Sustain’s
projects and campaigns, particularly through our working parties, policy work and events.

Explore areas of additional support or new projects on key issues and needs specific to
these groups where they are not currently met.

3. Building understanding, momentum and skills among the Sustain alliance and members
