Are you upbeat, caring, and ready to support amazing individuals with complex health needs and behaviours that challenge? If you’re nodding along, we might just have the perfect role for you!

We’re on the lookout for a Female Support Worker to join our lovely team at Abbeyhill, right in the heart of Edinburgh. You’ll be helping 4 fantastic people (3 fabulous ladies and 1 charming gent) who live in two cosy, connected flats.

What’s life like in Abbeyhill? Think music, dancing, arts & crafts, pamper sessions, shopping trips, holidays, and plenty of laughs! Our residents love trying new things, so we’re after someone creative, patient, and full of positive energy.

What you’ll be doing:

• Helping with medication
• Cooking and keeping the home running smoothly

 Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For this particular role, a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act 2010

We are passionate about our people and every year we invest heavily in our front-line worker pay, in line with the Living Wage increase each April. This means that from 1st April 2026, our payrate for this role will be increasing to £13.86 per hour
