About Opportunity
This opportunity applies to our West Pilton service only. Stramullion’s client group are females and their children who have found themselves homeless, often as a result of experiencing domestic violence and abuse. The role will involve various aspects of gardening e.g. ground preparation, planting, maintenance. Service users will also be involved. Due to the nature of the client group, this post is only open to female candidates. This post is advertised under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, Section 7.

About Rowan Alba Ltd
Rowan Alba Limited is a charity set up to work with people who are at trisk of becoming homeless. We believe that all individuals have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and offer support in a person centred way, with the individual actively involved in planning their care.
We work with older homeless men and women in our supported accomodation and individuals in the community who are having difficulty sustaining their current accommodation. Many of our service users would benefit from more social contact and just having someone to talk to could make a big difference to them.
