This role will play an active part in driving forward our exciting fundraising campaigns, events and community
relationships. This involves a wide-range of tasks which will vary day by day, from helping at on-site events to
the distribution of marketing materials, and from taking minutes to building good relationships with local
supporters (including schools and universities, local groups and businesses, community champions and
participants in challenge events).
We’re looking for someone who has a passion for great event experiences and customer service, is proactive and
organised, adaptable, collaborative and solutions focussed.
The ideal candidate will enjoy:
- Making a difference – each campaign, event and relationship provides significant funds and awareness that will
help provide homes, jobs, food and support to help people break the cycle of homelessness.
- Making it
happen – getting stuck in, using problem-solving skills and a can-do attitude while maintaining the highest
professional standard with good attention to detail.
- Building positive relationships, working with
colleagues and supporters to maximise engagement.
This position will suit someone interested in a career in events or fundraising. The role will report into the
Corporate Partnerships and Community Development Manager, working closely day-to-day with the Events specialist,
Senior Executive for fundraising and challenges, and the wider Fundraising and Marcomms team.
About Social Bite
Our vision is a society where no one should have to be homeless.
We are a charity and social business providing homes, jobs, food, and support to empower people to transform their
own lives. We challenge the status quo by pioneering solutions that create lasting change.
We began as a small sandwich shop in Edinburgh in 2012, offering jobs and free food to people affected by
homelessness. We’re now expanding our projects across the UK, on a collaborative mission – a movement to end
homelessness.
We help people break the cycle of homelessness through innovative supported employment programmes (Jobs First) and
housing solutions (Social Bite Villages) and give out over 165,000 items of free food year-round through our
coffee shops and community networks.
We build lasting relationships, because we believe that through positive connections people can transform their
lives. We use food, homes, and jobs as tools of engagement that can enable everyone to reach their potential.
Our national and global campaigns have shifted the cultural dial on homelessness and our work has been
championed by George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sir Chris Hoy and the Princess of Wales. A number of our team
have been homeless themselves.
Thank you for your interest in this role! We’d love you to apply.
