About Fresh Start

Fresh Start aims to support individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness by providing practical assistance, skill development, and advocacy to enable lasting, positive change.

Fresh Start is a value led organisation that works with people on the basis of Respect, Collaboration and Empowerment.

Main purpose of role

Fresh Start provides support to people moving on from or those at risk of homelessness. Fresh Start has been active in Edinburgh for over 20 years with a mission to help people make a home for themselves.

The Fresh Rooms Service Co-ordinator will be passionate about helping people establish and make a home for themselves, including but not exhaustive - co-ordinating teams of volunteers to provide people with a painting and decorating service, access to our starter pack household and white goods and support to access wider Fresh Start services. The role will involve engaging with people and assessing their needs when moving into a new tenancy, supporting them to access our services, and working with volunteers and teams of corporate volunteers and ensuring high standards of service deliver are meeting the needs of the people we work for.

Are you:

• Passionate about helping people thrive, not survive.
• Flexible, energetic and a great team player. This is your opportunity to join a dynamic service that delivers to a high standard and keeps our service users at the centre of everything we do.
• Hands on - co-ordinating and working alongside teams of volunteers and service users to paint and decorate service users’ homes. And provide them access to all other Fresh Start services.
