We are currently a small group of successful, conscientious, and hard-working people, continually looking for others to grow a team of ambitious people that take their work seriously but do so in an environment where they can have fun, enjoy professional development, look after one another, be financially rewarded, and share in each other's success. We are fiercely ambitious and competitive; however, we believe in going about our business in the right manner. That means looking to partner with people for the long term based on trust and delivering consistently.
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for an organised and proactive Office Manager with a great eye for detail and top class written and people skills, to join our expanding team.

This is a multi-dimensional role that requires a high degree of adaptability, professionalism, discretion, and the ability to multitask and prioritise in a dynamic environment. The role will be office based.
The Person
We are searching for likeminded professionals that are enthusiastic, positive, ambitious, mentally agile, conscientious, and driven - not only financially, but by delivering a top quality customer service and having both personal & professional pride in the work that they deliver, relationships that they build, and tenacity that they display to succeed where others do not (because that is the added value that makes work enjoyable, drives success, and ultimately maximises your return).
We are looking for someone that is task orientated, likes things to be done in the correct manner, and someone that likes to solve problems and to achieve.
Essential Skills
A successful commercial track record in an Office Management, Operations Management or Senior Administration role.

Care Coordinator - Care at Home - Homecare
Edinburgh | c.£30,000 - £32,000 | Full-Time | Monday to Friday
Everyone's talking about the care sector being in crisis. But not every service is struggling. Some are quietly getting on with doing things properly.
This is one of them.
A well-regarded, privately-owned home care provider in Edinburgh is looking for a Care Coordinator to join their small team. They're not chasing rapid growth. They're focused on quality, reputation, and doing right by their clients and carers. They need someone alongside them who thinks the same way.
The role
You'll take ownership of scheduling and rota coordination for a team of around 30 care staff, making sure shifts are covered and the service runs smoothly. Alongside that, you'll be responsible for supporting the care team directly, supervisions, spot checks, appraisals, and training support.
It's a mix of office-based coordination and time out in the field, with the scheduling side taking the larger share of your week. You won't be expected to deliver care day-to-day, but the willingness to step in when the team needs you matters here.
Who fits?
Someone calm, organised, and quietly effective. This is a small, close-knit team and the right person will bring a steady, composed presence rather than chaos. You'll work closely with the Registered Manager, who has invested real time and effort into building this service up and takes pride in the standard of care being delivered.
You'll need experience in a care coordination or senior care role within home care, ideally with a Level 3 qualification or above. You'll understand the rhythm of care at home/homecare/domiciliary care. The moving parts, the last-minute changes, and the satisfaction of a week where every carer felt supported and every client was looked after.
Why this one?
The majority of the business is private, clients are long-standing, and new referrals come through word of mouth. That tells you everything about the reputation this provider has built locally. There's a genuine sense of community here, both within the team and with the people they support.
On-call is shared on a rota basis, and the structure is there for this to be manageable rather than all-consuming.
Want to know more?
The full details are available after a quick conversation. If you're a Care Coordinator looking for somewhere that values quality over quantity, get in touch. No application forms, no hoops, just an honest chat about whether it's right for you.

Medical Devices Consultant – Senior Mechanical Engineer – Cambridge
Due to the growth of a leading Medical Devices organisation, we are currently seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer, Project Manager, Medical Devices Inventor, or Mechanical Design Consultant for a newly approved role. The company is based in Cambridge and boasts some of the most impressive labs globally, which they are currently enhancing even further.
You will collaborate with other experts in Medical Devices who have backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, Electronics Design, Electronics Engineering, Physical Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, and various other skills essential for inventing Medical Technology. Consequently, teamwork will be crucial.
In this role, you will lead projects, necessitating experience as a consultant, project manager, or another role involving interactions with third parties. Additionally, you will apply your skills hands-on, directly contributing to the development of new Medical Devices.
We require several years of experience in Mechanical Design of Medical Devices. Familiarity with any 3D CAD tool is acceptable, as we understand that you can be trained on the necessary tools when required. However, knowledge of SolidWorks would be advantageous.
Most individuals in similar roles hold a degree in a Mechanical Engineering field, but experience takes precedence.

This organisation has an outstanding track record of fostering continuous learning to keep you at the forefront of the Medical Devices sector. Consequently, opportunities for career and skills development are always available.

Registered Service Manager – Care at Home
Highlands
Hospital discharge pressure and social care reform are back in the headlines, and the focus is clear. People need to be supported safely at home, with services that can respond quickly and consistently.
If care at home is where your experience sits, and you are comfortable running a service that changes hour by hour, this is a role where your judgement has real impact across Highland communities.
The role is based from an office around 14 miles north of Inverness, leading an established rural care at home service covering wide geography and varied logistics.
This is operational leadership in its truest sense. Care at home is the core. Rotas that shift daily. Lone worker oversight. Care plans that must stay live. Decisions that cannot wait for tomorrow.
The service currently delivers around 700 hours of care per week, with a clear and realistic ambition to grow beyond 1,000 hours sustainably. The team includes 26 care practitioners, with plans to build above 30, supported by a Care Coordinator and Team Leads. You hold registered responsibility and act as the operational anchor for the service.
Picture a working week where responsibility is clear and visible.
Care plans that reflect people’s lives as they are now, not how they looked months ago.
Recruitment, retention, supervision and performance that protect standards and steady the rota.
Relationships that matter, including commissioners and health and social care partners across the region.
Quality assurance that stands up to inspection and leads to genuine improvement, not paperwork for its own sake.
The sector is evolving. Investment, reform and workforce focus are reshaping how care at home is delivered in Scotland.
If building a stable, compliant service through change appeals to you, this environment will feel familiar.
What will help you succeed.
Several years working within care at home services, not just social care more broadly.
Leadership experience managing multiple priorities in a live operational setting.
Confidence with regulation, inspection standards, documentation and stakeholder engagement.

Registered Service Manager – Care at Home
Highlands
Hospital discharge pressure and social care reform are back in the headlines, and the focus is clear. People need to be supported safely at home, with services that can respond quickly and consistently.
If care at home is where your experience sits, and you are comfortable running a service that changes hour by hour, this is a role where your judgement has real impact across Highland communities.
The role is based from an office around 14 miles north of Inverness, leading an established rural care at home service covering wide geography and varied logistics.
This is operational leadership in its truest sense. Care at home is the core. Rotas that shift daily. Lone worker oversight. Care plans that must stay live. Decisions that cannot wait for tomorrow.
The service currently delivers around 700 hours of care per week, with a clear and realistic ambition to grow beyond 1,000 hours sustainably. The team includes 26 care practitioners, with plans to build above 30, supported by a Care Coordinator and Team Leads. You hold registered responsibility and act as the operational anchor for the service.
Picture a working week where responsibility is clear and visible.
Care plans that reflect people’s lives as they are now, not how they looked months ago.
Recruitment, retention, supervision and performance that protect standards and steady the rota.
Relationships that matter, including commissioners and health and social care partners across the region.
Quality assurance that stands up to inspection and leads to genuine improvement, not paperwork for its own sake.
The sector is evolving. Investment, reform and workforce focus are reshaping how care at home is delivered in Scotland.
If building a stable, compliant service through change appeals to you, this environment will feel familiar.
What will help you succeed.
Several years working within care at home services, not just social care more broadly.
Leadership experience managing multiple priorities in a live operational setting.
Confidence with regulation, inspection standards, documentation and stakeholder engagement.
A full UK driving licence and access to a car.
