Fresh Start provides support to people moving on from or those at risk of homelessness. Fresh Start has been active in Edinburgh for over 25 years with a mission to help people make a home for themselves. Volunteering is at the centre of Fresh Start’s ethos, and we are looking to diversify our team of volunteers to ensure all ages, backgrounds and demographics are represented and given opportunities at Fresh Start.

Fresh Start offer a range of services to people either at the transition from homelessness or those who are risk of homelessness. We provide people with the provision of household starter packs, white goods, painting and decorating services. Via our community hub we offer a wide range of services including: cooking, community pantry and shop, growing spaces, provision of advice, information and support.

We are looking for a team player who would like to work in our busy warehouse, someone who is keen to learn, grow and develop themselves. Working alongside the rest of the starter pack team and our volunteers the Warehouse and Services Assistant is a key role within the warehouse working alongside our volunteers to assemble and deliver starter packs, including the safe testing of electrical (training will be provided) items within the starter packs.

Fresh Start is a small charity and a flexible approach and the ability to multi-task is essential. A good team player who can also work on their own initiative and be pro-active is required for this role.
