Aberlour Options Lothian, Prestonpans
Aberlour Options Lothian offers a range of short break services to children and young people with complex needs.

We offer a safe, homely environment for a child to come and stay for a short break that gives their families a rest from their caring role.

During that break, children enjoy a range of fun activities and experiences with our staff. Our service is very much a 'home from home' for the children who stay with us.

We are within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian with access via the number 26, 111 and 124 bus routes.


The difference we make to families:

  • "It's not easy to accept that sometimes you need help. We had reached rock bottom but Aberlour Options Lothian was that lifesaving buoyancy aid._
  • It wasn't easy accepting leaving my son there especially in the early days when it was new to everyone. It is a safe and welcoming place and a second home in many respects now. Somewhere he is safe, cared for and has loads of fun with the carers and other children._
  • It's not just about respite; we have received help with managing behaviour, preparing for hospital visits and operations. Help and advice when there seemed to be no one else listening or who understands. It's hard to look back to where we were but no we wouldn't be here today without their help and support._
  • To sum it up: Saved our lives. Peace of mind. Finally a rest." _

What we are looking for....

What we offer...


As well as a supportive team and excellent training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued and rewarded for the vital work they do.


Aberlour is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all our service users and uses a thorough and rigorous recruitment and selection process including PVG Scheme checks to ensure this commitment is not compromised.
