Putting People First
Achieving the incredible, together
People are at the very heart of our business, and Renaissance Care has committed to ensuring all staff feel valued, respected and rewarded for their dedication and hard work. This can be seen in the employment terms, benefits and company culture enjoyed by our staff.
We offer competitive salaries and have pledged to become a Scottish Living Wage employer. We provide a flexible approach to your working week, a generous health and wellbeing package with access to fitness classes via the danceSing platform and a modern working environment.
We have vowed to provide an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ staff and residents, welcoming and developing people of all identities. We will supply sanitary products for all female staff and are rolling out menopause-training for all staff later this year.
We have also pledged to upgrade our administrative function and operational management to streamline processes and free up time staff currently spend on paperwork.
