Smart Works is a dynamic, high profile and fast‑growing UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for success at their job interview. We empower each woman by giving her the clothes and the confidence she needs to succeed.
After visiting Smart Works, 67% of clients secure a job within a month, gaining financial independence and transforming their lives.
The Smart Works service is delivered in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, Reading, Bristol and Leeds. Over the past ten years, Smart Works has helped over 50,000 women, and last year alone we reached 10,600 women. It is our mission that any woman who needs our service should be able to find her way to a Smart Works centre.
In March 2025, Smart Works completed their Three-Year Plan that saw the charity double the number of women helped annually from 5,000 to 10,000 women a year. To achieve this, we grew our existing centres and opened a new centre.

The Service Delivery and Outreach Manager will have responsibility for the day‑to‑day operations of the Edinburgh centre, with prime responsibility for the smooth running of client appointments and coordination of volunteer activities, whilst ensuring a welcoming atmosphere for all visitors. They would also be responsible for nurturing existing and developing new referral partner relationships.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate a track record of building strong relationships and making things happen. As this role will be the first point of contact for all clients, volunteers and visitors who come to our Edinburgh centre, our ideal candidate will share our passion for helping clients succeed, believe in the power of volunteering and will be a real people‑person, who enjoys meeting new people every day. They must be a natural relationship builder, organised, an excellent multi‑tasker and will thrive in a fast‑paced office. We are looking for a true team‑player, with a proven track record of rolling‑up their sleeves and delivering results.
The role would be based in the Edinburgh centre. It is anticipated that approximately 3 days will be dedicated to client appointments and two days for outreach activity.
