East Lothian service supports people in Haddington, Tranent & Musselburgh.
Tranent supports 4 people, 2 within 1 block of flats and 2 outreach. The service users in Tranent are very independent so your shift could be spent with more than 1 supported person.

Haddington support 8 people. There are 2 Houses of Multiple Occupancy each with 3 people in them and 2 people in their own flats.

During your induction and training period you will work alongside our experienced team members, once your training is complete this role will involve lone working.
