Administrator, Office Administrator​/ Coordinator, Administrative​/Clerical

Because every child deserves a fair start in life.

At Home-Start Edinburgh, we believe in the power of early intervention and the life-changing potential of strong, nurturing relationships. We're here for families with young children in Edinburgh facing challenging circumstances—whether it’s isolation, mental health struggles, or financial insecurity. Our skilled volunteers work alongside these families, empowering them to thrive. Now, we’re looking for an Administrator to join our dedicated team and help us continue delivering this vital mission.

The Administrator is responsible for general administration of Home-Start Edinburgh, data entry, support to deliver services and general office duties. It is an integral part of our team that helps support babies, children & families across Edinburgh.

• Be the first point of contact for the organisation, including answering the telephone and managing our inboxes
• Administratively support our services, including volunteering, group work and family events
• Undertake general office duties

• Experience of administration (whether that be in a charity or a business – or your family!)
• A flexible and adaptable personality that can respond to business needs as they arise
• A consistent and reliable work ethic

At Home-Start Edinburgh, we believe:

Early childhood matters. Healthy development – from conception to infancy and beyond - provides the foundation for future learning, behaviour and health. It is the launchpad for a child to become a happy and well‑functioning adult.

Empowerment and enjoyment are key. Families thrive when parents feel confident, have nurturing relationships with their children, and the whole family can experience the joy of life together.

Needs‑based and responsive support. We listen to families and provide flexible support based on their needs and challenges. No two families are the same and we work to address individual needs and support families as long as they need us.

We believe in the power of relationships. Our volunteers support nurturing relationships in the families they support, and we work in partnership with others who share our values and our vision.

You’ll be part of a small, mission‑driven team with the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution. We’re proud of the impact we make together and we want someone who shares our belief that childhood can’t wait.
