Working at Crossreach

CrossReach (the Church of Scotland Social Care Council) offers care and support to people in communities across Scotland. Our work is both challenging and exciting and is built upon the Church’s long tradition of providing care and support, dating back to 1869.

Our experience in social care has seen CrossReach develop our services in Adult Care, Children & Family and Older People according to the needs of the communities we work alongside.

CrossReach is a forward thinking organisation that not only offers services to people but also aims to identify existing and emerging areas of need, as well as pioneering new approaches for early intervention and support.

Today we employ almost 2,000 staff in more than 70 individual services, empowering people to pursue their interests and ambitions; and to participate in their communities.

Colleagues and professionals to provide person-centred social care of the highest quality, to those in most need throughout Scotland for:

• older people
• people with dementia
• children and families
• people with learning disabilities
• people who are homeless
• people with substance misuse problems
• people who require counselling and support
• people with mental health problems
• people affected by the criminal justice system
• We deliver needs-led services to people of all ages, supporting them to improve their emotional and physical health and spiritual wellbeing regardless of faith.

Our services include:

• residential care
• day care

With a strong reputation for innovation and as a social care organisation of choice, we continue to engage and actively promote our work with decision makers at local and national level.

We are also developing pioneering new initiatives across all service areas as we commission and take part in groundbreaking research projects.

Our aim is to continue to connect our outstanding, professional social care services with the inspiring, voluntary social care projects being run by local churches across the country, and to strengthen our collaborative partnerships with statutory agencies and other third sector organisations.
