Join our dedicated team and help make a difference in the lives of single parent families across Edinburgh and Lothian.
We are always looking for passionate individuals to join our team. Experience working with children and a love of making a difference are key.
Lead activities and provide professional supervision at our after-school and holiday clubs. You'll plan engaging sessions and create a safe, nurturing environment for children aged 5–11.

Coordinate and deliver our holiday club programmes at Tollcross Primary. Plan trips, organise activities, and ensure a fun, safe experience for every child.

Experience working with children, relevant qualifications (or willingness to obtain them), and a genuine passion for supporting families.
All roles require a Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) check.
Perfect for students, retirees, or anyone who wants to give back to the community. Every hour you give makes a real difference.
