Are passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives?

At Social Bite, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home. We’re a charity and social enterprise working to break the cycle of homelessness through supported employment, housing solutions, and by giving out around 165,000 free food items each year through our cafés and community networks.

We are looking for someone special to join our Social Impact team in Edinburgh – someone who’s passionate about people, community, and creating real opportunities for those affected by homelessness. Your role will focus on organising and running social suppers for those affected by homelessness, engaging people in support and building partnerships with local charities.

This is a job for someone who loves variety – every day brings something new. You will also be a food lover, as part of your job will involve preparation and delivery of Social Suppers.

You’ll bring experience supporting people with complex needs, along with a genuine desire to be part of a collaborative movement to end homelessness. You’ll be a relationship-builder, a team player, and someone who’s not afraid to take initiative – all while keeping a positive, can-do attitude.

Please note that successful applicants will be required to join the PVG Scheme or be an existing member.

This role involves some amount of travel and you will be required to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

• Passionate about people with a drive to make a change

• A person who can quickly build strong relationships for developing effective internal relationships and partnerships with a range of charities
