Temporary jobs available!

While everyone is trying to adapt their normal lives to this new normal, it has unfortunately meant that some people are without employment. We want to do everything we can to help, so we will be collating a list of current vacancies on this page.

Below you will find a list of job opportunities that have been advertised locally and online. We will be updating this page regularly so keep checking if you are looking for a job. Additionally, if you know of somewhere looking for people to work, please get in touch and we'll add it to this page.

The list is ordered by closing date for applications. We do not handle or accept any applications for any of these roles, we are merely collating this information for you! However, if you have any questions do get in touch and we'll see what we can do to help.

NEW! The Scottish Government has announced the scheme to organise volunteers to support the NHS and other essential services across Scotland. You can find more information and sign up via Ready Scotland 

The City Region Deal have set up a new job portal colalting jobs available in Edinburgh and South East Scotland - check it out here
