Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of others? At Eskmills, we provide supported accommodation for adults with learning disabilities in Musselburgh and Portobello. By becoming part of our team, you’ll work in a supportive environment where individuals are empowered to lead independent lives, while knowing they have access to the help they need day and night. You'll be key in shaping personalised support plans that reflect the goals and dreams of the people we care for.
At Eskmills, we pride ourselves on fostering a high quality of life for both our residents and staff. With our Customer Service Excellence award, held since 2012, you’ll be joining a workplace that truly values dedication and excellence. If you’re committed to making a difference and want to work in a fulfilling role where your efforts are appreciated, Eskmills is the place for you.
The individuals who use our services tell us we’ve transformed their lives. Our employees share that they feel supported, enthusiastic, and find meaningful career development opportunities. We’re seeking a remarkable person to join our team.
Our staff come from diverse backgrounds; some have faith, some do not. We don’t want you to be just another cog in the machine. We value your skills and experiences, whether from the care sector or another field, as we believe they are transferable. Your journey with us won’t end there; leveraging the strengths of our large and varied organisation, we will support you in acquiring new skills and qualifications and provide opportunities to put them into practice.
Our focus is on the people we support. We are committed to helping them achieve the highest quality of life possible, and your role in this is crucial. You’ll need to see beyond behaviour to understand the person and build strong, supportive relationships with colleagues. There is room for creativity and problem-solving, so when challenges arise, your commitment and initiative will be key to finding solutions and helping those we serve reach their goals.
We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.
Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.
But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
