Where you'll work

Within walking distance of the home, the local church has a dementia café, where we take residents to spend time with people from other nursing homes in the area.

Camilla House is also very lucky to have the ŽHibernian Football Club nearby in Leith, which embraces us at a club it runs for people living with dementia.

Our residents are welcomed along to meet the great players from the good old days, from Willie Henderson to Peter Cormack.

These special days happen every month and are simply magical. Our residents' faces light up as they meet players who are their legends. They have their pictures taken with them and talk about the club.
