Our mission goes beyond simple financial aid. We understand that true support means addressing the complex, interconnected challenges individuals and families face. Whether it’s a family struggling with complex issues, a homeless individual seeking support, or an older person experiencing isolation, ScotsCare offers a holistic approach to support.
Our work spans multiple dimensions of care. We provide financial grants to alleviate immediate economic pressures, but we don’t stop there. Our team of dedicated professionals offer bespoke mental health services, including substance misuse, job coaching, housing and homelessness support, and advocacy services.

The heart of ScotsCare is our people – both staff and volunteers. We’re constantly seeking passionate professionals who believe in our mission of breaking cycles of deprivation. Our team represents diverse backgrounds and skills, united by a common goal: creating meaningful opportunities for Scots in London.
We operate three sheltered housing sites, provide psychotherapy sessions, and run community-building programmes like our ScotsCare choir. These initiatives are more than services; they’re pathways to reconnection, healing, and empowerment.

We seek an individual passionate about supporting Scots in London with executive-level property experience to join our existing, skilled, and diverse team of Trustees.
Experience in property, asset management, estates management, housing and/or development or construction will be vital in ensuring the property strategy is congruent with strategic direction.
You will demonstrate an ability to provide constructive challenge, offering insights that support. Communication is key, so we are looking for a Trustee who is personable, approachable, and able to work seamlessly with our Chief Executive and property lead.
