Use your welfare rights expertise to tackle poverty and create lasting change

Edinburgh Food Project is seeking an experienced Welfare Rights Adviser to join our Money Advice Service.

Our outreach model delivers advice in food bank and community settings, helping us reach people who may not otherwise access support. You'll work directly with individuals experiencing financial hardship, providing high-quality advice, advocacy and casework that helps address both immediate needs and the root causes of poverty.

We're seeking a skilled adviser who can confidently navigate complex welfare, debt and housing issues, manage a varied caseload and maintain high standards of case recording and reporting. You'll combine technical expertise with a person-centred approach, building trust with clients and supporting them to take positive steps towards greater financial stability.

At Edinburgh Food Project, you'll join a supportive, values-led organisation where staff feel genuinely appreciated. We offer flexible and hybrid working, 34 days annual leave, enhanced family-friendly policies, generous sick pay, employer pension contributions, life assurance, wellbeing support and a commitment to learning and development.

If you're passionate about social justice, skilled in welfare rights advice, and motivated by helping people achieve lasting change, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Edinburgh Food Project and grow vital income to provide emergency food aid, support and advice to people in hardship, helping create an Edinburgh without poverty, where everyone has what they need to thrive.

We’re looking for a well-rounded fundraiser to help grow income and supporter engagement across funding streams. You’ll build strong relationships, develop new fundraising opportunities, deliver engaging events and campaigns, and provide excellent supporter stewardship.

If you’re proactive, creative, relationship-focused and passionate about making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
