About Leuchie

Set in the beautiful East Lothian countryside, Leuchie is a unique, friendly and caring independent charity providing short breaks for people living with long-term neurological conditions, including Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease, Stroke and Parkinson’s, as well as respite for their carers.

We are the only service of our kind in Scotland, offering much more than a traditional care environment. Our aim is to provide our guests with a genuine holiday experience, supported by our dedicated 24-hour nursing and care team.

At Leuchie, nursing is about more than clinical care. It is about getting to know our guests, understanding what matters to them and supporting them to enjoy their time with us.

We are proud to have a stable and experienced staff team, low staff turnover compared with the industry average and consistently strong Care Inspectorate inspection grades.

If you are looking for a nursing role where you can use your clinical skills while genuinely improving someone’s quality of life, we would love to hear from you.
