Role
Fresh Start provides support to people moving on from or those at risk of homelessness.
Since 1999 Fresh Start’s core mission has been supporting people to “make a home for themselves” as they move on from homelessness. Typically, people have been living in temporary accommodation and have been allocated unfurnished, poorly equipped or decorated local authority properties. Our services give people immediate support at a critical transition point in their lives and provide longer term support enabling them to sustain their new tenancies and settle in their new community. Over the last 5 years our work has developed further to incorporate services focusing on prevention of homelessness through tackling poverty and inequality.
Our 4 areas of focus cover:
(1) Move-In support services: a collection of services supporting people transitioning from homelessness and temporary accommodation.
(2) Empowerment and Poverty Prevention Services which support people develop skills, knowledge and social network so that they are better equipped to deal with the issues and difficulties they face.
(3) Food Support Services which respond to the current food crisis faced by many in Edinburgh and allow individuals and families to access food in a dignified manner.
(4) People-led, Place-based Community Development through Fresh Start leading role and involvement in key policy making groups and in pushing for system change through learning.
We are seeking a creative and driven Marketing and Communications Officer to support Fresh Start’s fundraising team, to promote the range of services delivered by the organisation and to help raise its profile. In this role you will create and deliver engaging content across various social media channels, implement broader marketing activities, and manage the production of marketing materials ensuring all creative outputs align with Fresh Start brand guidelines and organisational Aim, Mission, and Values.
We are looking for someone who is proactive, enthusiastic and team minded. Someone able to listen to colleagues’ varying needs; contribute ideas and work collaboratively to create solutions. You should be comfortable at organising your own time and adapting to priorities.
