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.

Event management: plan and deliver events big and small, from producing assets for charity stalls at corporate fairs, to marketing our Impact Conferences and black-tie fundraising dinners.

Why join us?

Impact: your work will empower people experiencing homelessness to transform their own lives through our key pillars of providing homes, jobs, food and support.

Culture: you’llbe part of a supportive and dynamic team in an entrepreneurial organisation that values your unique take on how to achieve our goals.

Growth: opportunities to work on exciting projects and learn, grow, and shine in a role that’s as rewarding as it is challenging.
