How to Apply

Please send your CV and a supporting message to recruitment@social-bite.co.uk.

Your supporting message should help us get to know who you are and why you’d be a great fit for the role. You can choose the format that feels most comfortable for you. It could be:

• a short letter (up to 500 words)
• a video or voice note (up to four minutes)
• or something else creative that helps you express yourself.

Please note that applications without a supporting message will not be considered.

Recruitment Process

We believe recruitment should be a two-way process - an opportunity for both you and us to get to know each other, to make sure it’s the right fit on both sides.

The successful candidates will not only have the right skills but will also share our values and believe in our mission to end homelessness and build a more connected society.

There will be a two-stage recruitment process, which will involve an initial call with our Individual Giving Manager. If it feels like a good fit on both sides, you’ll then be invited for a coffee and conversation with some of the wider team.

We’re keen to recruit as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis - so we encourage you to apply early.
