We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Are you a positive and motivated person who is experienced in supporting people who can exhibit behaviour that challenges?
Are you looking to gain great experience in a satisfying job where you feel supported?
If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you’ve been looking for!
At our Abbeyhill service, we currently support 4 individuals (3 ladies and a gentleman) and are just preparing to welcome a new lady into the service. The individuals we support live in two adjoining, shared flats in Edinburgh city centre. The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, autism, mental health concerns and age-related health concerns but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life!
They enjoy a wide range of different activities, like socialising, going for a walk, listening to music, dancing, arts and crafts and going shopping, going on holiday and generally being pampered (for the ladies!). They’re always up for trying new things, so are looking for inventive people who are up for the challenge.
Our staff team are very supportive and experienced and provide support with:
• Medication administration
