Bishopton, United Kingdom Erskine Veterans Charity Full time

**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 with our younger, more vulnerable Veterans to help them deal with mental health or addiction issues can be demanding, however, at Erskine it will also be rewarding and fulfilling. You will be making an incredible difference to the lives of our veterans at a critical time as they negotiate the transition from Military to Civilian life. We value skills and qualifications, but we prize kindness and compassion, above all. Our team is crucial to providing the best care possible, so we recognise and reward our employees with benefits including employer pension contribution, fantastic career opportunities, and enhanced annual leave.

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.”
