About Edinburgh Support Services & Healthcare Training Ltd. (ESSHT)
So What makes us different?
Our journey began in 2021, but we go way back!
We’re a team of health and care professionals, Nurses and Carers who have decades of experience in caring for people in their homes and in hospital. Our relief team has medical and nursing students who bring valuable up to date evidence based practice. We also provide care training to carers, unpaid carers and other care organisations though their in-house training.
Our experience and diverse skills range from Mental Health Support, Learning Disability, Adult Nursing and Management of Care in the Hospital and Community. We always offer person centred care and support to our clients during their most vulnerable times in their lives whilst promoting independent living at home. Our services enable people to achieve their personal aspirations and we promote independence through goal setting and Reablement approaches. Our Carers in Edinburgh, Lothians and Fife actively involve our clients in shaping their care and support and always put them at the centre of every decision.

A day in the life of a carer
A carer’s job is demanding but can be rewarding and enriching. Carers are continually multitasking as their client is dependent on their reliability and competence. Our services are mainly carried out on an hourly basis. Carers are on hand to offer support to clients with the highest standard as they have this duty of care.
