This post is based at LinkLiving's Edinburgh office.
Hours of Work: 37.5 per week (Monday to Friday with weekend and evening work on a rota)
Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?
You don't need to have previous experience or qualifications in this field. If you share our values, this could be the role for you
At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff.
- Empathy (listen to and understand an individual's needs and circumstances)
- Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
- Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
- Caring (show kindness and concern for others)
LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives.

The Service
Our Edinburgh Mental Health Services is made up of five teams of support workers who provide visiting tenancy support across Edinburgh to people experiencing mental ill health.
The service also has a Core and Cluster accommodation service which provides more intensive support to people who have spent time in long-term hospital care.
Our support enables the people we work with to live as independently as possible in their own home and improve their mental and physical health.
The Job
We have an exciting opportunity for ambitious and motivated Support Workers to join our team and improve the lives of people supported by our Edinburgh Mental Health Services.
In this role, you will be supported to work using a person centred and trauma informed approach and develop effective relationships with people affected by a range of mental health problems, supporting them to cope in difficult times and working towards recovery and a good life.
You will provide emotional, practical and social support to enable people to live as independently as possible and make informed choices in all aspects of their lives.
This role involves the administration of medication to some of the individuals we support. Full training will be provided for this.
For a comprehensive list of the essential and desirable criteria required for this post, please refer to the Job Specification in the Job information Pack above.
What's in it for you?
- 35 days' holiday per year (inclusive of public holidays) pro rata plus additional 3 days pro rata after 3 years' service, with an opportunity to buy and sell holiday
- access to paid SVQ qualifications and a wide range of learning and development opportunities and funded Disclosure Scotland and Scottish Social Services Council memberships
