Fresh Start provides support to people moving on
from or those at risk of homelessness. Fresh Start has been active in Edinburgh for over 25 years with a mission
to help people make a home for themselves. Volunteering is at the centre of Fresh Start’s ethos, and we are
looking to diversify our team of volunteers to ensure all ages, backgrounds and demographics are represented and
given opportunities at Fresh Start.
Fresh Start offer a range of services to people
either at the transition from homelessness or those who are risk of homelessness. We provide people with the
provision of household starter packs, white goods, painting and decorating services. Via our community hub we
offer a wide range of services including: cooking, community pantry and shop, growing spaces, provision of
advice, information and support.
We are looking for a team player who would like to
work in our busy warehouse, someone who is keen to learn, grow and develop themselves. Working alongside the
rest of the starter pack team and our volunteers the Warehouse and Services Assistant is a key role within the
warehouse working alongside our volunteers to assemble and deliver starter packs, including the safe testing of
electrical (training will be provided) items within the starter packs.
Fresh Start is a small charity and a flexible
approach and the ability to multi-task is essential. A good team player who can also work on their own
initiative and be pro-active is required for this role.
