About Fresh Start

Fresh Start has been active in Edinburgh for over 20 years with a mission to help people make a home for themselves. We aim to support individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness and at risk 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. These values underpin all our services such as Fresh Rooms.

About the role

Getting the keys to your new home after experiencing homelessness should be an exciting and happy time. However, peeling wallpaper, stained walls or your least favourite colour can make it hard to settle into your new home. The Fresh Rooms service works alongside our service users to help make their home feel refreshed and personalised. Through this we hope to reduce the likelihood of any of our service users becoming homeless again. Working alongside the service users and dedicated volunteers to transform a home makes it an extremely satisfying and rewarding experience.

As a Fresh Rooms Service Coordinator, you will be passionate about helping people to thrive, not just survive and to establish and make a home for themselves.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Engaging with service users to agree the work required in the home and understand any additional needs of the service user
• Assisting Service users to access wider Fresh Start services (e.g. starter packs)
• Co-ordinating and transporting teams of volunteers to provide people with a painting and decorating service
• Painting alongside service users and volunteers when needed
• Working with longstanding volunteers and teams of corporate volunteers
• Working in a small team with another coordinator to ensure high standards of service delivery are meeting the needs of the people we work for

Are you flexible, energetic and a great team player? Then 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.
