Can you bring care, love and laughter to older people’s lives?

About The Open Door

We support vulnerable older people to have fun with friends, and remain as active and independent as possible, through our social clubs and registered day care services. We provide a welcoming space for people who may be feeling lonely or isolated to chat and linger over a hot drink or light lunch in our neighbourhood cafe. We enable people of diverse ages, abilities and backgrounds to contribute to their local community through volunteering in our day care services, café and other projects.

We are proud of reputation for delivering high quality care and support services. We were awarded “Grade 5 – Very Good” for all categories in our last inspection by the Care Inspectorate (you can access it here)

We were founded in 1982 by a retired nurse, Peggy Hunter, and are well-supported by the community with a team of over 50 volunteers supporting The Open Door’s services.

We are a grassroots community project that supports many of the most vulnerable people in Edinburgh and its surrounds. These include people who are roughsleeping, homeless, temporarily housed, who have a disability, mental illness or mental health issue as well as people coming out of the criminal justice system, have issues with drugs or alcohol or who are simply very isolated.

Do you want to be part of the mulit-award winning dynamic and compassionate team who support over 500 people a year using partnership, a strengths based social enterprise approach and an asset based community approach to transform lives?

We’re looking for a Service Manager, someone who can:

• deliver the best outcomes for our Members, to enable individuals to develop to their full potential.
