About East Lothian Foodbank (ELFB)
ELFB provides food and other essential items to local people to give immediate help in an emergency situation to those who are experiencing poverty in East Lothian.
In addition to emergency food, we also offer a money advice service to our service users to help them maximise income and benefit entitlement.
An independent Scottish charity, we are fortunate to also be part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working towards combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
About the Role
Since its introduction, our money advice project has achieved significant financial gains for our service users. We are now looking for the right person to join our team to drive forward the continued success in year 3 of our project.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated and positive individual to help those using our foodbank to access our money advice service to help improve their circumstances over the long-term.
To achieve this, you will collaborate closely with our advice partner Musselburgh Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) to ensure that our advice service continues to target those most in need of our support.
You will regularly monitor and review the effectiveness of the project, utilising key data to inform continuous improvement whilst also taking account of feedback from our key partners and those who use our service. You will also work as part of the wider foodbank team to support our overall operations and service delivery.
