Where you'll work

We very much embrace our Scottish heritage, with accordion players, highland dancers and traditional storytellers among the many talents from the East Lothian area that come to the home.

Traditional Scottish fare is at the heart of our regional menu, with classics including neeps and tatties, Scotch pie and haggis and stovies.

For our residents who live with dementia, our nursing home has a very special addition to their technology, the 'Magic Table', which is a piece of sensory equipment created in the Netherlands.

It uses light games projected onto a table to encourage residents to engage with each other.

It's a real joy to see residents, particularly those who may find verbal communication difficult, responding to the magical lights and sounds of the games.
