About the Role
This role will play an active part in driving forward our exciting fundraising campaigns, events and community relationships. This involves a wide-range of tasks which will vary day by day, from helping at on-site events to the distribution of marketing materials, and from taking minutes to building good relationships with local supporters (including schools and universities, local groups and businesses, community champions and participants in challenge events).
We’re looking for someone who has a passion for great event experiences and customer service, is proactive and organised, adaptable, collaborative and solutions focussed.
The ideal candidate will enjoy:
- Making a difference – each campaign, event and relationship provides significant funds and awareness that will help provide homes, jobs, food and support to help people break the cycle of homelessness.
- Making it happen – getting stuck in, using problem-solving skills and a can-do attitude while maintaining the highest professional standard with good attention to detail.
- Building positive relationships, working with colleagues and supporters to maximise engagement.
This position will suit someone interested in a career in events or fundraising. The role will report into the Corporate Partnerships and Community Development Manager, working closely day-to-day with the Events specialist, Senior Executive for fundraising and challenges, and the wider Fundraising and Marcomms team.
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 challenge the status quo by pioneering solutions that create lasting change.
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.
We help people break the cycle of homelessness through innovative supported employment programmes (Jobs First) and housing solutions (Social Bite Villages) and give out over 165,000 items of free food year-round through our coffee shops and community networks.
We build lasting relationships, because we believe that through positive connections people can transform their lives. We use food, homes, and jobs as tools of engagement that can enable everyone to reach their potential. 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.

About you
We are looking for a confident, established professional with extensive knowledge and networks across housing in Scotland, who is comfortable navigating faith spaces. You will be a project manager who is happy working independently and remotely, while achieving high quality deliverables.
About the role
We have recently received funding to explore expansion into Scotland for the Faith in Affordable Housing project. This will be a 15-month project with potential to expand, subject to funding.

The resulting feasibility study and business plan will then inform the potential next steps for Faith in Affordable Housing Scotland.

At Housing Justice, we value differences: we are a diverse organisation, and we work with people of all faiths and none. We seek to influence and bring about change for the benefit of those we serve through partnership, lobbying and networking. Our initiatives include Faith in Affordable Housing, Hosting people seeking sanctuary, Support for people from Ukraine, The Winter Night Shelter Network and Citadel.

Organisational Context:
NACCOM (No Accommodation Network) is a registered charity, and we provide a service to our (140) members who are frontline organisations based across the UK working together to end destitution amongst people seeking asylum, refugees and migrants with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF). Whilst members’ services are accessible to a range of people with NRPF, their core focus is to provide support to those experiencing destitution who are appeal rights exhausted (ARE).
The NACCOM membership network is made up of ‘full’ members who provide accommodation to people seeking asylum who have been refused and ‘associate’ members who are organisations that are in support of the aims of NACCOM. NACCOM brings members together to network, collaborate and share good practice, and also provides resources, support and training to enable members to increase their capacity and empower as many people as possible out of destitution. NACCOM also campaigns for a fair, just and humane asylum and immigration system that doesn’t leave people destitute.
