Vacancy: Administrator

About the Company

Starter Packs Glasgow has been supporting people moving into new tenancies for over 25 years, whether after a period of homelessness, moving on from care, the forces or prison, decanting after a fire or flood, or staring over after relationship breakdowns or fleeing domestic situations. Whatever the reason people are starting over, we supply them with a pack of household essential items to allow them to settle into their new home quickly, alleviate the financial strain of having to buy all these items at once along with the anxiety that goes with it. We alleviate poverty and help break the cycle of homelessness. We have two shops in Govan next to our office, The Magpie's Eye and The Magpie's Nest, which help us to be self-sustaining, avoiding landfill and also provide an affordable resource for the community. We are based in Govan, a few minutes walk from Govan Cross, where the Underground, Bus Station and Bridge From Partick all are. We currently employ 17 people and have around 40 volunteers who are part of our team. www.starterpacks.org.uk
