If so, then our Assistant Key worker role may be made for you.
Located in Leith, Crighton Place Community provides supported accommodation and mental health support for up to four people as they make the transition from hospital care back into 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.
The Assistant Keyworker will work alongside Keyworkers to provide support to individuals living in the community and create a healthy and safe household for the community. The main responsibilities for the role include:
- Supporting our residents with household chores including cooking and cleaning
- Administer medication to residents (training will be provided)
- Ensure all community members are involved in planning and development of the service
As a committed, compassionate and reliable member of the team, you’ll be able to develop trusted relationships with those we support and with your colleagues and be an encouraging presence but able to work at the pace of the individual.
You will be joining a small team of staff committed to the highest quality of care and support and always striving to do develop further. This means there will be great opportunities for you to both learn and develop, while sharing your skills and experiences.
The shift pattern for this position will involve working evenings and weekends on a regular basis. Shifts are 9am to 3pm or 3pm to 9pm.
You’ll be joining an experienced and knowledgeable team who will give you full training in all aspects of your role. You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.
At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that there are many routes into homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based.
Closing date: Monday 31st August at 12 noon
