About Social Bite
Social Bite is a charity and social enterprise with a vision of a society where no one should have to be homeless. For over a decade, we’ve brought people, partners and communities together to challenge the status quo and pioneer solutions that create lasting change.

From supporting people to find a safe place to call home, to empowering people into employment, to providing free, fresh food to people experiencing homelessness or food poverty, our work is rooted in dignity, kindness and impact. Across flagship campaigns, fundraising events and community-led action, everything we do reflects our values of kindness, collaboration, dignity and impact, and our belief that lasting change is possible when people come together with purpose.
We’re proud of our warm, inclusive and supportive culture, where people feel trusted, valued and encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, with a strong focus on wellbeing, balance and collaboration.

• Coordinating logistics, transport, staff briefings and event materials
• Acting as a key on-the-day contact during live events
Other Events & Admin
• Supporting delivery of conferences, programme launches and supporter engagement events
• Contributing to event debriefs, evaluations and budget tracking
• Providing general support during busy fundraising and marketing periods

 

About You
Essential
