Role

he Simon Community is Scotland's leading homeless charity. We are creative and innovative. We get things done with care and compassion that make a difference to our community, being true to our values. We are a community of staff, volunteers and the people that we support.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about changing expectations and experiences of people we support, many of whom have experienced significant trauma, exclusion and stigma. They often engage in risk taking behaviours that put their physical and mental health, and their lives at risk. Despite the challenges they face they have incredible resilience, survival skills and a wicked sense of humour. They know what a good, and not so good service looks like.

As part of our Hub team in Edinburgh you'll be working with people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness in an awesome environment alongside our partner agencies.

We work to support people in securing accommodation and to live well.

This support can include housing advice, applying for benefits, accessing health care - or veterinary care for their pets! - whilst being compassionate, sharing a laugh and sometimes a cuppa too!
