If you are UK-based and passionate about enabling vulnerable people to live the life they choose, we would love for you to consider joining our exceptional team in Wardieburn. Our purpose-built home in north Edinburgh is home to adults with disabilities, including three additional independent living flats.

Your role also includes motivating and encouraging their choices and active participation. No previous experience as a Support Worker, Healthcare Assistant, or Care Assistant is required.

In addition to competitive pay, we offer a range of employee rewards, including Wagestream (coming soon!), which allows you to access earned pay before payday. You'll also receive a free Blue Light card with discounts for high street retailers, a free DBS check, generous annual leave, a contributory pension scheme, and excellent training programs relevant to your role.

If you're enthusiastic, motivated, and friendly, we'd love to hear from you! Apply now or send your CV to Rachel.mclelland@leonardcheshire.org to become part of our dedicated team and positively impact the lives of vulnerable people.
