They will communicate effectively with a variety of audiences to ensure appropriate support and equipment is provided throughout all current sheltered housing schemes.

The role will require on-site visits to sheltered housing schemes in each of Edinburgh's localities to engage with tenants and support workers; applicants should therefore be flexible to adapt their work location as necessary.
The post holder will work within CEC core working hours.

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.
