About

Work Next Door is a community driven job board connecting small independent businesses in Edinburgh with people looking for work. That could mean a part time weekend role or a full time opportunity at a business they believe in.

Born out of a love for Edinburgh’s independent scene and a frustration with traditional job sites, Work Next Door is a simpler and more personal way to find work that actually fits your lifestyle and values. No spam. No endless scroll. Just real jobs from real people, shared directly with community spaces like Dear Girls Club and more.

It’s completely free for everyone.
Independent businesses get to share their job openings with an engaged Edinburgh audience.

Job seekers — whether new to the city or already settled — get access to genuine opportunities you won’t find buried in big job boards.

This is about working with people next door, supporting small businesses, and building something better together.
