About the service

Cyrenians values food beyond its role as fuel, it also sustains our mental and emotional health and plays a central role in nurturing connection within communities. This is the basis of our FareShare social enterprise. Our FareShare Central and South-East Scotland depot provides opportunities for people and organisations to access food, improve their health and wellbeing, and to develop skills and confidence.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead the FareShare Depot into the next phase of its journey. We will be moving to a larger 15,000 sq ft premises where our ambition is to distribute more fit for purpose surplus food to more organisations who work with people experiencing food poverty and food insecurity.

This role will lead on the management and development of the Depot, including our big move. It has responsibility for all delivery and the site itself, as well as ensuring it is managed in line with the organisation’s vision and strategic aims.

You will be a values-led, experienced manager with a balance of excellent leadership skills and strong knowledge of logistics and warehousing.

Your project and financial management skills will be invaluable in driving our depot move forward efficiently, and your pragmatic attitude will be key to solving any problems we encounter on the way.

How we’ll support you

We’ll empower you to work independently, with a supportive senior manager, and experienced property team. We will encourage you to use your creativity to manage the FareShare Depot, innovate new activities and learn on the job.

You will have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, managers’ network, and staff wellbeing services.

About the service

Our Green Skills Centre offers group training and development work to young people and other groups at risk of experiencing homelessness. We realise that many 'at risk' groups can suffer from a nature deficit and sense of disconnection which can intensify and compound the struggles people face. We aim to be a restorative and supportive influence. We offer workshops, accredited training and client-led learning pathways. Our learning work includes sustainable horticulture, market gardening, woodland skills, peer-mentoring and outdoor-education.

Four Square Scotland is an Edinburgh charity working for more than 40 years to prevent homelessness and promote inclusion. We provide services directly to people who are homeless, or who are at risk of homelessness to overcome any barriers they may face in creating a stable life for themselves in their community. At the core of Four Square are the values upon which the Organisation is based. These are equally applied to the people we support, our colleagues and our partners and are: Integrity; Excellence; Dignity; Support.

We are driven by our mission to ensure everyone has the opportunity to have a home and a place in their community.

Our Homeless prevention services are designed to address and mitigate the factors that can lead individuals and families to become homeless. The primary purpose of the service is to intervene before people lose their homes, providing support and resources to help them maintain stable housing and support to get a home.

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our team as a Community-Based Practitioner, specialising in homeless prevention. In this role, you will focus on proactive measures to prevent homelessness within the community by providing support, resources, and advocacy to individuals at risk.

Four Square are recruiting for a Volunteer and Community Fundraising Officer to join our central operations team.

This role is central to creating a profile for the organisation in the local community. Through volunteering and local fundraising, you’ll support the profile and reputation of Four Square as homeless charity, a social enterprise and a key player in our community.

You will be highly motivated and approachable. As an ambassador for the organisation you’ll quickly establish trust with volunteers and local funders. You’ll tell our story and gather the stories of people we’ve helped.
