Duncan Place Community Hub are now seeking a Building & Facilites Coordinator; this is a new role working alongside the CEO and our small team of staff. You will be responsible for all planned and reactive maintenance and for compliance with security, health and safety. You will be responsible for high level building maintenance, following guidelines and procedures and, where necessary, you will be working with contractors to plan and organise servicing, maintenance checks and repairs. This is a hands-on role where you use initiative and get stuck in to keep our building running smoothly and presented to a high standard; this includes responding to smaller tasks and urgent issues as they arise, e.g. putting up shelves, unblocking toilets, painting walls & woodwork (including being confident and competent with ladders and heights), litter-picking and generally mucking in with the team to help maintain standards. We are looking for someone who will be proactive in getting tasks completed to a high standard quickly with as little inconvenience to our customers as possible.

You must be motivated, organised, solution focused, hands-on and have excellent record keeping skills. You will be able to supervise and work alongside your team to keep the building well maintained, presented to a high standard, keeping people and resources safe at all times.

We have a wonderful and diverse community of building users and universal acceptance and respect is essential. You are expected to have a degree of flexibility and work with the rest of the team to ensure that all planned and reactive maintenance takes place with the minimum of disruption to tenants and room hirers. Shifts are rota’d in advance, and the weekly hours will include at least one evening per week, at least one weekend day per month and other weekday daytime hours.

Whilst the majority of tasks will be based in Duncan Place Community Hub, occasional hybrid hours are possible.

Home-Start Edinburgh is looking for a relationship-driven, proactive and commercially minded Corporate Partnerships Manager to help grow income and impact through businesses across Edinburgh.

This is an exciting opportunity to build and shape a corporate partnerships function with real scope to influence how the role develops. We are looking for someone who can identify opportunities, open doors, build trust and convert conversations into meaningful support for families with young children.

The role will focus strongly on new business: building a robust pipeline, developing compelling propositions, securing new supporters and leading the rollout of our Friends of Edinburgh scheme as an accessible route for local businesses to get involved. Over time, as new partners come on board, the role will also grow into a broader account management and partnership growth portfolio.

About Home-Start Edinburgh

Home-Start Edinburgh supports families with young children through challenging times. Through compassionate, non-judgemental support, we help parents build confidence, strengthen relationships and create more stable foundations for family life.

We want more businesses in Edinburgh to feel connected to that mission - not simply as donors, but as local partners helping families in their own city. This role will be central to making that happen.

What you will do

• Develop and deliver a practical corporate partnerships plan focused on new income growth.
• Build and manage a strong pipeline of prospects across Edinburgh’s business community.
• Create and pitch compelling partnership opportunities for businesses of different sizes and types.
• Lead the development and rollout of Friends of Edinburgh as part of our wider new business approach.
• Secure new support through partnerships, sponsorship, employee fundraising, volunteering, events, gifts in kind and other relevant routes.
• Build excellent relationships with supporters and, over time, help grow and deepen those partnerships.

Who we are looking for

• Someone with experience in corporate fundraising, business development, sales, account management, sponsorship or partnerships.
• Someone who is confident building relationships externally and can combine warmth, credibility and persistence.
• Someone who enjoys creating opportunities from scratch and is comfortable working strategically as well as hands-on.
• Someone who can write and speak persuasively, tailor approaches to different audiences and keep momentum in a varied pipeline.
• Someone who is motivated by purpose and excited by the chance to help shape a growing area of work.

You do not need to come from the charity sector to apply.

We know excellent partnership-builders can come from a range of backgrounds. If you have experience winning business, managing clients, developing sponsorship or building commercial relationships - and you are motivated by the chance to use those skills for a strong local cause - we would love to hear from you.

Why join us

• A genuine opportunity to build and shape this area of work.
• Flexible working of 20 hours per week.
• A values-led organisation making a visible difference to families in Edinburgh.
• A role that combines autonomy, creativity, relationship-building and social impact.
• The chance to create something sustainable and locally rooted.

Terms

• Salary: £38,000 FTE, pro rata for 20 hours per week.
• Location: Edinburgh / hybrid, with local travel for meetings and events.
• This post is subject to Home-Start Edinburgh’s safer recruitment processes.
