Care and Repair Edinburgh is an independent charity offering a range of practical services to help older people and those living with disabilities in Edinburgh to repair, improve or adapt their homes so that they can live safely and independently for as long as possible.

We have been serving Edinburgh’s older and disabled residents since 1985 and complete over 5,000 jobs every year in homes across the city. Our services include minor and major home adaptations to improve accessibility, comfort and energy efficiency as well as a handyperson service that uses volunteers to complete DIY services and help with technology in the home.

Care and Repair Edinburgh (CRE) aim to deliver the highest quality for our clients, so you will be required to show enthusiasm for standards and best practice, demonstrate patience and empathy with older people and understand the impact of loneliness and isolation.

We are looking for an Administrator to join our team, where you’ll be required to provide all aspects of quality administrative support to CRE employees, ensuring effective and efficient service delivery, as well as providing administrative support to the Senior Administrator, Operations Manager and Director of CRE.
