Four Square Scotland is an Edinburgh charity working for more than 40 years to prevent homelessness and promote inclusion. We provide services directly to people who are homeless, or who are at risk of homelessness to overcome any barriers they may face in creating a stable life for themselves in their community. At the core of Four Square are the values upon which the Organisation is based: Integrity, Excellence, Dignity, and Support.
We are driven by our mission to ensure everyone has the opportunity to have a home and a place in their community.
Our Homeless prevention services are designed to address and mitigate the factors that can lead individuals and families to become homeless. The primary purpose of the service is to intervene before people lose their homes, providing support and resources to help them maintain stable housing.

In this role, you will focus on proactive measures to prevent homelessness within the community by providing support, resources, and advocacy to individuals at risk.

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 offers a range of services to people either at the transition from homelessness or those who are at 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 items (training will be provided) 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.
