About Edge Group Scotland

At Edge Group Scotland, we're dedicated to providing exceptional, quality-focused support for young adults within the ASN community. Inclusion is at the heart of what we do, which is why we employ a diverse team of autistic and neurotypical support staff. As a Care Inspectorate Scotland registered and regulated provider, you can trust in our commitment to excellence.

Based in Lothian, we're proud to serve our local community with specialist support services. Our operations are overseen by a highly experienced Registered Mental Health nurse, bringing over 35 years of expertise. Since 2016, we've grown alongside the young people and families who shape our services, offering bespoke, individualised support that focuses on transitions, independent living skills, and other key life skills.

We are 100% authentic and we tell it like it is. 

We're a trusted leader in social care, consistently empowering young adults to transform their lives and celebrate every step of their journey to their chosen positive destination.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to inspire young people in Scotland who are autistic and/ or have other additional support needs to develop and maximise their potential through holistic, person-centred support.

To motivate change, celebrate independence and inform the transition to adulthood.

Person-Centred

Supports young people to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to effectively manage and make informed decisions about their own path. It is coordinated and tailored to the needs of the individual.

Holistic Health

Looks at the whole person, not just their autism, additional support or mental health needs. Our support also focuses on their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Evidence-Based

Recognised as the gold standard for the delivery of safe and effective person-centred support. We constantly assess and review our practice giving us the ability to evolve and provide individualised support that improves our outcomes.

Authenticity

Our words, actions, and behaviours consistently match our core beliefs. People who are authentic bring their whole selves to their jobs and participate fully and honestly in the workplace. Authenticity and integrity are essential. 

What gives us the Edge?

At Edge Group Scotland, we don’t just talk about quality—we evidence it. We are a fully regulated, professionally staffed and values-driven organisation that delivers consistent, person-centred support for autistic individuals and those with additional support needs. Whether you're a professional making a referral or a family planning next steps, you can trust that our approach is safe, skilled, and rooted in real expertise.

  • Edge Group Scotland is registered and regulated by the Care Inspectorate Scotland as a supported day service, alongside our existing registration for support at home. This means our delivery is held to the highest standards of safety, quality, and professionalism—fully aligned with the Health and Social Care Standards. Our work is externally inspected, transparent, and accountable.

  • All of our client-facing staff are registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), ensuring compliance with national professional standards and a robust code of practice. This offers clear reassurance that our team is properly qualified, regulated, and committed to ethical, skilled support for the individuals and families we work with.

  • Our client-facing team includes experienced practitioners who specialise in supporting autistic individuals and those with additional support needs. Every staff member receives regular safeguarding training, works within a trauma-informed practice model, and either holds or is working towards an SVQ in Health and Social Care. Continuous learning and development are central to the high quality of care we provide.

  • We are grounded in honesty and transparency. Everything we do—from how we speak to families, to how we plan support—is guided by our core values. We don’t overpromise or underdeliver. We show up consistently, act with integrity, and always put the needs of the individual at the centre of decision-making.

  • We are based in Musselburgh and committed to supporting local young people with autism and additional support needs. Our structured, autism-informed programmes are built to motivate progress, nurture independence, and support smooth transitions into adulthood—while staying rooted in community and connection.

  • We support the whole person—not just their diagnosis. Our practice considers each individual’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Whether we're supporting independent living, travel training, or mental health, our approach is always tailored, respectful, and focused on helping individuals thrive in their own way.

Edge Group Scotland is proud to be Disability Confident Committed, reinforcing our commitment to an inclusive workplace.
