About Brew & Blether

Brew & Blether is a warm, person‑centred, home-based support service for adults living with long‑term conditions, disabilities, cancer journeys, and unpaid carers. Over a gentle, four‑week block of support, we provide light-touch practical help, friendly conversation, and confidence-building support that helps people feel more connected, more independent, and more able to manage at home.

The service reduces isolation, improves wellbeing, supports smoother hospital discharges, and helps individuals access long-term community connections. The Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund through Community Solutions supports this role.

The Role

As our Brew & Blether Coordinator, you will deliver practical, compassionate, early‑intervention support directly to people in their homes. You’ll build trusting relationships, offer companionship, and help people link into wider services and supports. This is a highly rewarding role where “care without the clock” is central.

Community Alliance Trust is a development trust serving Greater Craigmillar. We bring together individuals and organisations to identify need and advocate for positive local change.

We also host and run services from The White House supporting the people of Craigmillar. This includes an open-door policy for those in need, hosting welfare and benefit advisors, as well as directly running community gardening sessions.

We have funding to expand and develop our work this year, including this new role to restore Craigmillar Library Garden.

We are looking for an experienced community gardener to lead our work transforming the neglected grassy area at Craigmillar Library into an edible and sensory community garden. The role will include co-designing the garden layout, engaging with volunteers, and motivating them in gardening sessions at the library.

Gardening sessions will include repairing and building raised beds, prepping the ground for the sensory garden, planting a range of scented, colourful and edible plants suitable for Scotland, supporting volunteers to increase their confidence and gardening skills, and building community.

The project will take place over five months on a part-time basis, with twice-weekly gardening sessions taking place most weeks.

While this project is discrete, we will be looking for a community gardener at our new Niddrie Mill site on a long-term basis. This will be a much larger community garden serving Greater Craigmillar. Please let us know if you are also interested in this permanent position, as we will be hiring for the Niddrie Mill Gardener role from the pool of applicants for the Craigmillar Library Community Gardener.

If you would like to be a part of long-term positive local change in Craigmillar, we would love to hear from you!
