£25,352 – £27,907 pro rata, plus pension
Based in Edinburgh

Come and join the team at Cyrenians Communities.

Are you passionate about working with people in a person-centred way? 
Do you want to work in a small team making a big difference in people’s lives?
Do you want to work somewhere which ensures that the voice of those with lived experience and staff working in front line roles is central to decision making?

If so, then our Key Worker role may be the one for you.

About the service

Located in Leith, our Community provides supported accommodation and mental health support for up to four people as they make the transition from hospital care back in to the community. Our Community model is based on Cyrenians core values, prioritising trusted relationships and putting the person at the heart of the decisions which matter most to them.  

About the role

You’ll be:

• Working with residents to develop their own support plan
• Liaising with support providers to ensure that a joined up system of care and support is realised
• Working with Assistant Key Workers to ensure a healthy and safe household for all who live with us
• A valued part of hardworking and committed team

It may be a small team, but it has a big impact!

About You

As a committed, compassionate and reliable member of the team, you’ll be able to develop trusted relationships with those we support as well as with your colleagues.

You will be experienced in providing high quality support and be able to work at the pace of the individual. 

The role will work primarily during the day on week days (21 hours over 3 days), and as it is part time could suit someone who has other work, learning or personal commitments. 

How we’ll support you

You’ll be joining an experienced and knowledgeable team who will give you full training on all aspects of your role. You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.
