How do I get to Harmeny?
Harmeny's campus is on the outskirts of Edinburgh and is connected to the city via the 44 bus, which stops outside of our gates. The Lothian 63 bus and the N44 bus route also both stop outside, if you're coming from further afield. We offer free staff and visitor parking, if you choose to drive. We can be accessed easily from the A70, A71 and M8.
What qualifications do I need?
Every job at Harmeny has its own requirements, so please check individual job postings for more detail. You may not have qualifications or experience, and that’s OK, as we can support you to achieve what you need. It’s just as important that you share our values and can fit in with our community ethos.

What is the recruitment process?
Different roles will have slightly different processes, but generally once we have received your application we will review it against the criteria for the role and decide whether to invite you to interview. At interview stage you may be asked to deliver a presentation, take part in a tour or answer some questions. This is a chance for us to get to know one another better! In some cases you may be asked to attend a second interview.
How do I apply?
You can apply online, and can contact us if you require a different format of application. If you need any particular support or adjustments, please let us know.
Any tips on how to write the best application?
Our job descriptions and person specifications outline what we are looking for. We recommend that you take the time to read them carefully and explain in your application what makes you a great match for us. Remember that your values are as important to us as your skills and experience!
I don’t see any posts that suit me at the moment. Can I send you my CV?
Yes, you can register your interest with us and let us know what you’re interested in. We can then get in touch if we think that you might be a match to a future role. Keep an eye on our website in the meantime, as we’d love to hear from you!
Is there a rota for care workers?
Yes, the majority of our roles in the Care team operate on a rota basis. Further information on this can be found in the role profile, and if you would like to discuss this in more detail you can contact us.
