Our Home Care and Reablement services provide support to the citizens of Edinburgh in their own homes to enable them to achieve as much independence as they can.

As a Carer within the service, you will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team that includes Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Community Nurses and Social Care professionals with the aim of supporting, motivating, and inspiring people to re-learn daily skills and enhance their quality of life. This may be required following a period in hospital or to prevent admission to hospital.

We support employees to develop skills in a supported and professional environment and make a real difference to the lives of others. You will have access to training, with funded opportunities to obtain qualifications in Health and Social Care. ;For example, we will support and fund you to undertake your SVQII in Health and Social Care. This will create access to opportunities for career development in one of Health and Social Care Partnership’s largest services and have access to the employee benefits that you would expect from one of Scotland’s Council’s.

Leave and Benefits
Flexible working hours - various working patterns available
Additional shift allowance –for split shift, after 9pm and weekend working
Annual Leave - 26 days annual leave plus 6 Bank holidays (after 5 years service this will increase to 31 days)

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act . The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
