About Social Bite
Our vision is a society where no one should have to be homeless.
We are a charity and social business providing homes, jobs, food, and support to empower people to transform their own lives.
We are a catalyst for change. We challenge the status quo with innovative, scalable solutions that create lasting impact. Each of our pioneering projects support people to break the cycle of homelessness, whether that starts with a free meal, supported employment, or a safe place to call home.
We began as a small sandwich shop in Edinburgh in 2012, offering jobs and free food to people affected by homelessness. We’re now expanding our projects across the UK, on a collaborative mission – a movement to end homelessness.
Our growing projects include Social Bite Villages, the Jobs First programme, and social business coffee shops in Scotland and London. Our national and global campaigns have shifted the cultural dial on homelessness and our work has been championed by George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sir Chris Hoy and the Princess of Wales. A number of our team have been homeless themselves.
Thank you for your interest in this role! We’d love you to apply.
