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.
