Not all support work looks the same.
At Edge Group Scotland, we deliver specialist supported day programmes for autistic young adults and those with additional support needs through real-world experiences that build confidence, independence and practical life skills.
We’re looking for proactive, positive and genuinely person-centred people to join our growing team.
No two days are identical. Support may involve travel training, volunteering projects, cooking sessions, outdoor learning, watersports, community activities or employability-focused opportunities — all designed around meaningful outcomes and real progression.
About Edge
Based in Musselburgh, Edge Group Scotland combines specialist social care support with recognised, certified outcomes, helping individuals develop confidence, independence and everyday life skills in a practical, engaging and supportive environment.
We’re Looking For People Who:
• Are calm, reliable and proactive
• Have a genuinely person-centred approach
• Communicate well and work positively within a team
• Bring energy, initiative and a can-do attitude
• Want to make a genuine difference
Experience within social care or ASN support is desirable, but values, attitude and willingness to learn matter hugely to us.
Essential Requirements
• SVQ2 in Health & Social Care (or willingness to work towards qualifications in line with SSSC requirements)
• SSSC registration (or willingness to register)
• Commitment to ongoing learning and professional development
• Availability Monday to Friday 8:45 am to 5 pm
At Edge, we actively support staff development across areas including outdoor learning, travel training, employability, person-centred planning and accredited outcomes.
If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact — and where no two days feel the same — we’d love to hear from you.
