Do you want to work for a caring organisation that believes in people?

Do you want to make a difference?

As a Recovery Coordinator with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.

Responsibilities

With this role you’ll be working as part of the EMORSS team.

The team supports people with drug and alcohol issues, involved in the justice system.

No two days are the same and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.

You’ll have to record information about what you do, so enjoying a bit of paperwork and attention to detail is important. But most of the time you’ll be enjoying working with people from all backgrounds, making a difference to their lives.

This is what one of our people who use our service had to say:

“Very professional and understanding! Always supportive and helpful. I look forward to meetings.”

“My caseworker fought my corner with housing, benefits, employment, volunteering and development. I will always be so grateful for his presence in my journey.”

Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you so please apply.

The Supported Housing Worker role requires assisting in the management of the development thus ensuring the tenants are able to enjoy an acceptable standard of living in an environment which is clean, safe and friendly. You will be responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the tenants and for assisting them in maintaining their independence.

As Housing Care Worker your role will involve working with our tenants to ensure they receive the support and personal care identified in their care plans. You will directly support tenants in their homes by providing individual advice, practical housing support assistance and personal care.

Both roles are to ensure that we are able to offer the best service to our tenants and make it possible for our tenants to continue enjoying as much independent living as they’re able.

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

• competitive hourly rates of £12.25 - £12.50 per hour
• guaranteed rota hours working between 7.30am & 10pm
• generous annual leave entitlement
• a choice of pension scheme with employer contributions
• flexible working policies
• access to extensive paid training and development opportunities
• a supportive and inclusive culture.

We also have opportunities with our Trust Staff Agency - for employees who want to work across different locations, in various roles, with highly flexible hours to suit family commitments - it's a great opportunity with the same training and development that our other roles benefit from.

Previous experience working in social care or the housing sector would be an advantage but this is not always necessary. Our ideal candidate is someone with enthusiasm, a caring nature and willingness to learn as full training, support and ongoing development will be provided.

The role of the Duty/Crisis Service Support Worker is to provide a confidential, safe and supportive information service to women and agencies who contact EWA through the crisis phone line and/or ‘drop in’ service. Where safety issues are assessed, the worker will ensure the completion of the Risk Identification checklist and an individualised support and safety plan. Where appropriate the worker will assess women, and any accompanying children who are affected by domestic abuse, for refuge accommodation. This role is based at EWA offices 4 Cheyne St Edinburgh EH4 1JB.

Columcille is a creative day support service which offers a wide range of activities for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs. Activities include gardening, cooking, pottery, arts and crafts, drama, music, dancing, and woodwork. Our approach values the uniqueness and gifts of each person and supports people to develop their creative skills and do meaningful work and activities in a friendly community setting. Columcille is based on the principles of social therapy which originate in the thinking of Rudolf Steiner.

We are looking to recruit a full-time Support Worker to provide person-centred support to adults with learning disabilities to participate in creative workshops and activities.

The role will provide support to service users to learn new skills, develop socially, and achieve positive outcomes. You will provide 1-1 support to individuals within the centre and the wider community, including supporting individuals with complex needs, for example epilepsy, autism, mobility difficulties, as well as personal care. It is also anticipated that the role holder will be one of a small team of staff who support our dance group one afternoon.

Experience of supporting adults with learning disabilities is essential.
