    Description and requirements

    £14.97 per hour | Full-time | City Park, Edinburgh

    “It’s about leading by example – supporting my team so they can give the very best care every single day.”

    That’s how one of our Team Leaders describes their role. If you’re a confident, compassionate leader who’s ready to inspire others and make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

    A home, not just a service

    Our City Park service is home to up to four adults with physical disabilities. Our service feels like family – relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate: from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.

    Your working hours

    37.5 hours per week between 7am & 10pm with flexibility required to work across weekdays and weekends as part of a rota. You’ll also take part in our on-call system to ensure the smooth running of the service.

    We’ll work with you to agree a pattern that suits the needs of the service and you.

    Why you’ll love working here

    As well as providing support for your wellbeing and development, we offer a fantastic range of benefits:

    • 30 days holiday per annum inclusive of bank holidays (+1 every year up to 35 days)
    • Stream: Access up to 40% of your pay before payday
    • Free Blue Light Card: Exclusive discounts and benefits
    • Contributory Pension Scheme & competitive life cover
    • Health cash plan: Affordable healthcare at your fingertips
    • Career development: Opportunities for recognised qualifications and leadership training
    • Free PVG membership
    • Employee Assistance Programme – support when you need it most

    What you'll do

    • Lead and inspire a team to deliver outstanding, person-centred care
    • Organise rotas and ensure the right staffing levels at all times
    • Support with training, development, and supervision of staff
    • Work alongside customers to achieve their goals and promote independence
    • Maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with policies and regulations
    • Liaise with families, healthcare professionals, and external agencies
    • Step in to provide hands-on care and administer medication when needed

    What helps you shine here

    • Experience in a supervisory role within a care setting is essential
    • A relevant qualification (NVQ/SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care or equivalent)
    • Good communication, organisational, and leadership skills
    • A warm, supportive, and motivating approach to working with others
    • Willingness to work flexibly and take part in the on-call rota
