Our Community Resilience Worker role may be the one for you.

Come and join our new and innovative City-Wide Resilience Service, and be part of an exciting and ambitious team supporting older people across Edinburgh.

The Resilience Service aims to work holistically and person centred with people aged 60 plus living in Edinburgh.

We will also work with colleagues in client/patient facing roles to help them access vital support for the older people they support.

The Edinburgh Community Resilience Programme will fund this work delivered in partnership with QMU, making positive futures a reality.

About the Role

You’ll be:

• Building trusted relationships with older people, providing one-to-one holistic case work in their home environment including income maximisation, housing needs awareness, access to health and well-being services, re-connecting with local community.

• Learning of their needs, interests, the challenges they face, and what matters most to them.

About you

You will be a people-person and relationship focussed. You’ll be a good listener and passionate about the rights of older people.

You’ll be solution focussed, and enjoy developing and implementing new ideas.

About us

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.

Our values

Compassion: We believe that everyone should have the chance to change, no matter how long that might take.

Respect: We believe in tolerance, acceptance, valuing diversity and treating each other as equals.

Integrity: We are committed to the highest quality of work, grounded in honesty, generosity, sincerity and professionalism.

Innovation: We are willing to take risks, challenge convention and be very creative in our search for new ways of working, in particular by taking account of the environmental impact of our decisions.
