- 6 Month Fixed Term Contract (230001EO)

At Sainsbury’s we have a long history of building strong partnerships and delivering great impact in our communities, locally and internationally. Our business relies on strong, resilient communities, and we’re committed to support social cohesion, economic prosperity and inclusive growth. We have presence in thousands of communities across the country and aim to help positively impact those in need through fundraising, volunteering, donations and by raising awareness.

Our colleagues are key to supporting the communities we serve. Through our fundraising and volunteering programmes, our colleagues have the opportunity to fundraise and volunteer their time to local good causes.

We play an active role in the communities we serve and have a long history of supporting our communities. In 1998, we launched our Food Donation Programme, where stores partner with local organisations operating both Front of Store (customers donations into donation points in stores) and Back of Store (donating surplus stock to local organisations) programmes. We want to improve the volume of surplus food we redistribute and this year are trialling tech solutions to support us redistribute our surplus food.

Over the last year, our key priority for us has been to support our communities and the most vulnerable in society during the pandemic. To support the huge amount of pressure on foodbanks, charities and community groups at the start of the pandemic, we made a £3 million commitment to FareShare. During this time, Sainsbury’s funded and supported distribution of over 24 million meals, via 3,945 unique charities.

We supported Comic Relief and Children in Need by matching our customers’ donations £ for £ in the The Big Night In Appeal, with the total donation exceeding £4 million, split between the two charities, to support those severely affected by the pandemic. We also donated over 2,000 laptops for kids as part of the Computers for Kids initiative and donated 470,000 items of clothing with a retail value of around £5.2 million across a number of charities including Comic Relief and Newlife.

- Support in the development and delivery of our Community and Partnerships strategy in support of our Plan for Better priority, including identifying and resolving broader issues/risks within the community programmes and spotting cost saving opportunities and/or financial risks to the business
