Bethany Christian Trust has operated a Care Shelter in Edinburgh every winter since 1996, providing emergency shelter to people who would otherwise be sleeping rough. Following the Covid crisis, and in recognition that for a number of years the provision has far outstripped the traditional shelter model, Bethany’s care of people who are rough sleeping will continue in the form of a “Rapid Re-Accommodation Welcome Centre” (RRWC) from October till May. Guests will continue to be welcomed in, receive a hot meal and have access to support through trained staff and visiting partner agencies. The RRWC will be a route for guests out of rough sleeping and into accommodation, via a variety of routes tailored to the individual.

Do you have the knowledge of and passion to provide an excellent caring service to homeless and vulnerable people who need shelter, as well as supporting them to access routes into accommodation? You will work Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm.

You will work closely with the Bethany daytime Team Leader, guests, volunteers, City of Edinburgh Council workers and a variety of other support agencies so excellent communication skills are essential. Ideally you will bring an SVQ3 in Health & Social Care/Promoting Independence.

As Bethany is a Christian organisation this post carries an Occupational Requirement in line with Equality Act 2010, applicants should have and be able to evidence an active Christian faith and commitment.
