Working for Erskine:

ERSKINE is an iconic Scottish charity, formed in 1916 by Scotland's compassionate response to the horrors of war. A century later, we still believe that Veterans and their families deserve our utmost respect and compassion, for the sacrifices they made and the challenges they now face. At Erskine, we work as a dedicated team to ensure that Veterans of all ages are cared for to the highest of standards in a beautiful, fun-filled environment, made up of two care homes and a Veterans Village of cottages, activities centre and apartments.

Working in social care can be demanding. However, at Erskine it will also be rewarding and fulfilling.

We value skills and qualifications, but we prize kindness and compassion, above all.

If you are kind and committed, then you do have what it takes to be part of the team here at Erskine! The ultimate aim is exceptional care and support to our ex-service community and everyone in every role, in every department plays their part.

Home Support includes: having someone to talk to, help around the home, help with errands and shopping, escorted trips for activities, and help getting to and from appointments. A minimum of 1 years' experience in a care or support setting is desirable. Full driving licence and access to a car for work is required.
