Our Day Services operate Monday to Friday from two locations in Edinburgh (Stockbridge and Portobello).

In addition, this service provides much needed support and respite to their unpaid carer.

The service is wonderful and gives mums life some purpose and she loves it!

You will make a big difference to people’s lives by leading a dedicated team to deliver a range of activities alongside providing care including personal care where required. Most importantly, you will ensure people feel special and cared for. If you are caring, compassionate and want to work for a charity that also cares about you, come join our growing team.

As well as a competitive annual salary, our valued team also benefits from:

• 30 days paid annual leave (pro rata)
• Employer pension contribution, including salary exchange schemes
• Accident insurance
• Access to paid training and development opportunities including SVQ’s
• A supportive team culture.

Previous experience working in social care for the senior post is essential but your enthusiasm, caring nature are just as important.
