Are you passionate about working with people 60+ and have an ambition to contribute to a system change?

Would you like to be actively involved in a research programme? Are you creative in your working approach?
If so, this role may be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the programme
The Edinburgh Resilience Programme, inspired by the Edinburgh Wellbeing Pact, works with people aged 60 plus.

We support them to strengthen connections with their communities and access resources so they can live well and have more good days.

We are funded by the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership.

About the role
Partnership working will be central to this role. You will work autonomously in the community, providing one-to-one holistic support to people aged 60+ living in Edinburgh.

You will also actively participate in ethical data collection and other research activities with our partners and the people we support to shape the vision for this project.

About you
We are looking for someone who is good at building trusted relationships with people. You should be positive, able to work on your own initiative, and be innovative and flexible in providing support.

Knowledge of challenges faced by older people and experience of working with them will be important. Experience of carrying out assessments and/or being involved in research would also be an advantage.

How we will support you
You'll be part of a small team, led by a supportive manager. There will be great opportunities for you to learn and develop, while sharing your skills and experiences. You will have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.

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