Citizens Advice Edinburgh (CAE) is part of an exciting collaborative project – The Family Hub - funded via the Scottish Government’s Whole Family Wellbeing Fund (WFWF).

The collaborative comprises the Third Sector organisations Circle, Stepping Stones North Edinburgh, Home-Start Edinburgh and Home Link Family Support, alongside NHS Lothian’s Parent & Infant Relationship Service and the City of Edinburgh Council’s Early Learning & Childcare Service.

The project delivers bespoke whole-family supports throughout the early years. CAE provides the welfare rights advice element of this service. The collaborative ensures that universal and enhanced support is available at the earliest stage possible for all families with a child not yet in an ELC or a pre-school age setting. This has been achieved by developing a cohesive pathway and a menu of supports alongside families.

The project is underpinned by early intervention and support. In providing holistic support to parents, we aim to improve the caregiving experience and infant mental health. Targeting secure attachment increases the likelihood of children remaining within the family home.

The project aims to:

• Improve family wellbeing
• Reduce inequalities in family wellbeing
• Reduce the need for families requiring crisis intervention
• Reduce the number of children living away from their families
• Increase the number of families taking up wider support

The multi-disciplinary service is delivered via physical Hubs in each locality, Pop-ups and Home Visits to families, to ensure city-wide, equal and convenient access.

Your Role

As the project’s Income Maximisation Adviser, you will principally advise parents about welfare entitlement, grants, and tariffs; budgeting; reducing household costs; and managing debt. Alongside financial topics, you will also offer assistance with housing, employment, and other related areas of advice. The central aim of the role is to reduce the number of families and children living in relative poverty.

The successful candidate must be experienced in giving advice, particularly in relation to benefits. Evidence of training and experience within another advice role is expected, but opportunities to develop your knowledge would be available via access to Citizens Advice’s comprehensive training platform. Provision of advice would be supported by the Citizens Advice information database and access to Citizens Advice Edinburgh’s network of specialists.

It is not essential to have experience of working within the sphere of Early Years or family support, but the candidate must be motivated to work collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary team and to display awareness and understanding of the complex support needs and vulnerabilities that families may present with to the service.

Due to the citywide coverage of the service, candidates must commit to regular travel between different Edinburgh locations and be confident working independently at times. The post holder will also be required to assertively develop and maintain links with relevant partner agencies in the wider community, to ensure that families receive holistic support.

Are you:

Organised, enthusiastic and good with people?

Confident working with different age groups?

Able to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends?

Interested in making a difference to our community?

A team player who can also work on their own initiative?

As the Community and Events Fundraising Officer, you will play a key part in ending youth homelessness in Scotland by inspiring people to support Rock Trust.

You will deliver exceptional supporter care and create meaningful experiences for everyone fundraising for us. Although a varied role, your work will follow strong themes – relationship building, spending time with supporters, and working with the Fundraising team; all to make a tangible difference for young people.

You’ll join an experienced and collaborative Fundraising and Communications team and be supported to identify opportunities to grow our community presence, take ownership of our community-led income, and inspire long term supporter loyalty to Rock Trust. In this varied and people-focused role you will meet and present to community groups such as schools, student societies, churches, and voluntary organisations. You may support groups to host their own events, take part in Youth and Philanthropy Initiative projects, or run collections, and you’ll play an important role in improving our supporter stewardship; helping create meaningful ways to connect with, and thank, our supporters.

You will also look after our events portfolio; recruiting participants, ensuring they receive top-notch stewardship, and supporting them in their fundraising journey. From our annual Firewalk to third-party challenges such as marathons and abseils, you’ll ensure that every participant has a fantastic experience. You’ll also use your creativity to bring fresh ideas to the table, adding to, and enhancing, our existing events programme to keep supporters engaged and inspired.

In the office, you will collaborate with teams such as Communications and Finance. You will help bring supporter stories to life, create engaging content, process donations, maintain our CRM database, and ensure fundraising activities run smoothly. You’ll also play an important part in supporting volunteers and volunteer groups, helping to create an excellent supporter experience at every stage.

This is a fantastic opportunity to combine creativity, relationship building, and event management in a role where no two days are the same.
