Team Support Administrator

About our Organisation

The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of
human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues
in isolation.

We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we
support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn’t do any of this without
our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world
where it’s needed the most.

About the Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join our friendly and passionate Soil Association Scotland
team, supporting the team to deliver the Food for Life programme across Scotland. We work in
partnership with local authorities and the food and drink industry to connect producers and
caterers, putting more freshly prepared Scottish food on the table using the Food for Life
Served Here award as a framework for change. We believe good food holds the key to a healthier
population, a greener environment and a thriving economy.

About You
