Care and Repair Edinburgh is an independent charity offering a range of practical services to help older people and those living with disabilities in Edinburgh to repair, improve or adapt their homes so that they can live safely and independently for as long as possible.
We have been serving Edinburgh’s older and disabled residents since 1985 and complete over 5,000 jobs every year in homes across the city. Our services include minor and major home adaptations to improve accessibility, comfort and energy efficiency as well as a handyperson service that uses volunteers to complete DIY services and help with technology in the home.
| Care and Repair Edinburgh (CRE) aim to deliver the highest quality for our clients, so you will be required to show enthusiasm for standards and best practice, demonstrate patience and empathy with older people and understand the impact of loneliness and isolation. |
The work will include installation of additional electrical sockets, new light fittings, outside security lights, small electrical repairs – jobs that only require one person and can be done within one day. We also currently offer supply and installation of interlinked fire alarms which will be part of the electrician’s role.
