Care

Linlithgow Service supports 9 people. There is 3 people in a House of Multiple Occupancy and 6 in their own individual homes. All the houses are situated round one courtyard which means there is a real community feel amongst both the Supported People and the Support Workers. Support needs within the service range from 24 hour a day support (including using the hoist and personal care) to those who just need help with finances, shopping and social. There is a bus stop outside with buses going into Edinburgh, Falkirk, Grangemouth, Bo'ness and the surrounding villages. The train station is a 4 minute walk from the service and we also have car parking available on site. Shifts at Linlithgow range from 4 hours to 16 hours and there are 3 sleepover shifts per day. 'The best thing about working at Linlithgow service is that is has a great community feel. The team are really welcoming and the supported people are great fun (and have an amazing sense of humour).' Deborah, Manager
