We are recruiting for one full-time Team Leader who shares our values and has the experience and skills to support adults with learning disabilities to participate in meaningful work within our day service. You should have the skills to manage a small staff team and co-ordinate activities within the group which meet the needs of individual members and which are in keeping with Tiphereth’s mission statement, Camphill values and the aims of the Day Service.

The post is based in the Pentland Group which carries out all aspects of woodworking, green woodwork and some grounds maintenance. Together with our members with learning disabilities, we aim to produce unique items for our annual fairs and for our community. The group works from a converted Greenkeepers Barn and is a fully equipped workshop with high quality machines, using locally sourced timber, where possible, nestled in the foothills of the Pentlands. This is complemented by an off-grid workshop space for green woodworking amongst other uses.

Experience in the field of woodworking is essential as is the confidence to share your skills. Previous experience of working with adults with learning disabilities is also essential, as is a good understanding of autism and the needs of people who use different forms of communication and confidence to work with behaviour that challenges.

Tiphereth is a Camphill community, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism in a range of day services, supported living, residential care, and social enterprises.

Tiphereth Camphill in Edinburgh is seeking an experienced and creative Administrator to join our community. We provide a range of support services for adults with learning disabilities and autism, with a focus on building meaningful relationships and community.

You will play a key role in our busy office being the first point of contact, in person, on the phone and by email. You will act as a key interface between our staff, members, parents and carers, other organisations and the wider community. Hospitality and preparation for events plays a large part in the role.

Our ideal candidate will have a can-do attitude coupled with experience of working in a busy office environment. Most of all you will have a flexible and adaptable personality with a willingness to work as part of a team, and embrace working in a vibrant community setting that values each person equally.

The role is varied and includes coordinating and supporting meetings, training, events and exhibitions as well as general cleaning and facility management, maintaining stock of office essentials.

Primarily based within our community at Tiphereth, the role may require off site working at times. On occasions evening and weekend work out with normal hours to support community events.

Ideally you will have a minimum of two years’ experience in a similar setting.
