Working for Erskine:

“ERSKINE is an iconic Scottish charity, formed in 1916 by Scotland’s compassionate response to the horrors of war. A century later, we still believe that Veterans and their families deserve our utmost respect and compassion, for the sacrifices they made and the challenges they now face. At Erskine, we work as a dedicated team to ensure that Veterans of all ages are cared for to the highest of standards in a beautiful, fun-filled environment, made up of two care homes and a Veterans Village of cottages, activities centre and apartments.

Our Erskine Veterans Activity Centres (EVACs), and the skills, activities and sense of community which they offer, have been rightly described as life-changing and life-saving by military Veterans of all ages. EVACs are central to Erskine’s future plans. It is our strategic aim to create an EVAC in at least 5 regional locations across Scotland. They will not only support meaningful activities and wellbeing for members – they will become operating hubs for partner organisations and evolve into regional offices for our new Care and Support at Home services.

The people in our team are crucial to providing the best possible community support, so we recognise and reward our employees with benefits including employer pension contribution, fantastic career opportunities, and enhanced annual leave.

If you are kind and committed, then you do have what it takes to be part of the team here at Erskine! The ultimate aim is exceptional care and support to our ex-service community and everyone in every role, in every department plays their part.”
