We are looking for professional carers who can build positive relationships with clients and their families, understanding the importance of our role in their lives.

What we offer:

• You will be paid the National Minimum Wage for all attended training sessions and shadow shifts.
• Work with our own clients, no agency work.
• Weekly pay.
• Blue light card.
• Enhanced Maternity/Paternity and Adoption schemes.
• Continued professional development to support your career.
• Holiday pay.
• Care Friends App Referral Scheme – T&C’s apply.
• Employee Assistance line – available 24/7 and fully confidential.

The Role

• Deliver personal care to supported individuals.
• Work as part of a team or independently in clients' homes.
• Medication management.
• Social visits.
• Meal support.
• Be caring, committed, resilient, and reliable.
• Must live in Edinburgh and be able to commit to the rota and shifts.

If you are a driver, you will receive 45p per mile between clients to cover mileage costs.

In line with Care Inspectorate regulations, we require and will undertake Enhanced PVG, Right to Work, Reference, and Employment History checks in line with Government guidelines and safer recruitment best practices.

While we aim to keep the recruitment process as short as possible, due to the nature of these checks, timelines may be extended.
