Are you driven by a passion for enhancing the lives of others? At Morlich House, located in the charming Morningside area of Edinburgh, we're dedicated to providing exceptional care for older ladies in a supportive and vibrant environment. We believe that working in care is more than just a jobit's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
Our beautiful, well-established home offers 23 en-suite bedrooms and a variety of welcoming lounges designed for relaxation and socialization. Whether it's enjoying the bright conservatory or taking a leisurely stroll around our large garden, our residents are surrounded by comfort and tranquility.
At Morlich House, we pride ourselves on delivering personalized support tailored to each resident's needs and preferences. We're seeking compassionate, dedicated individuals to join our team and contribute to our mission of providing high-quality care and creating a nurturing atmosphere.
We are looking for a dedicated Relief Activities Coordinator to join our team. In this role, you will plan and deliver therapeutic activities to provide mental and physical stimulation for our service users. Your duties will include organising indoor and outdoor activities, facilitating both group and one-to-one sessions, and working with the Service Manager and team to ensure a high standard of care. Flexibility for evening and weekend work is required.
The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, self-motivated, and capable of working both independently and as part of a team.

We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.
But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
As we do our work in Christ's name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.
