Make a Difference Every Day

In Gilmerton, we support 4 ladies with learning disabilities and autism to live independently in their shared home. This is a supported living service, which means we’re all about empowering the ladies to make their own choices, plan their days, and enjoy life to the fullest.

Every Day is Different

The people we support have unique personalities, interests, and goals. As a Support Worker, you’ll help them:

• Get out into the community (if you have a driving license, that's a big bonus!)
• Enjoy hobbies and activities
• Manage medication
• With personal care (where needed)
• Make decisions and live independently

We believe in “doing with” not “doing for” - it’s all about enabling, not taking over.
