We currently support two individuals with disabilities to live independently in their own bright, fully adapted home in Currie, Edinburgh. Each person has their own bedroom, with comfortable shared living and bathroom spaces.

In addition, we support two to three individuals each year through short‑break stays in our Edinburgh flats, located in Wester Hailes and on Fords Road. These breaks provide valuable respite for families from the demands of daily caring. This support is offered on a regular basis throughout the year and is available to individuals who also access our day support services.

We love what we do here and are looking to recruit a Care and Support Manager for our Wallace Court Service. Wallace Court provides 24 hour residential and respite support, 7 days a week, to customers aged between 18 and 65 with physical and learning disabilities.

Job Purpose:

Working alongside the Service Manager, you’ll play a key role in supporting the day-to-day leadership of the service while helping to drive forward improvements in care quality, consistency and outcomes.

You’ll support and develop our Team Leaders, strengthen oversight of care and support, and help ensure that what we deliver is not only safe and effective, but genuinely person-centred.

A key part of the role will be working with colleagues and professionals to ensure that people’s needs are fully understood, clearly evidenced and appropriately supported. This is a role where you can bring people together, build confidence in the service, and help shape how support is delivered.

Why this role is different

Wallace Court supports individuals with a high level of complexity, and there is a real opportunity to build on the work already underway to ensure the service is as strong, consistent and responsive as it can be.

We’re investing in this role to strengthen our leadership team and create the space needed to focus on quality, improvement and good outcomes.

You’ll be joining a supportive environment where your ideas, experience and leadership will be valued, and where you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact.
