An exciting opportunity has arisen for a keen and enthusiastic individual to join the staff team within Royston Court Care Home providing ongoing care and support to vulnerable older people.

We are looking for a motivated and driven individual with proven experience to be accountable for the management and effective running of a Care Home for Older People who thrives in leading change and daily challenges within a highly complex yet rewarding environment.

You will have a proven track record of leading services within the health and social care environment, have an excellent grasp of adult protection, regulation and guidance, establishing best practice in meeting needs of older people in residential care. You should be able to work flexibly and creatively within a dynamic and ambitious team. You will lead a service with high standards and ensure systems are in place for quality assurance and effectiveness of the service and will work with highly capable, enthusiastic staff, all of whom want to make a positive difference to the lives of adults.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check.  Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

We’re committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
