About Cornerstone
Cornerstone is a leading Scottish social care organisation with over 45 years of experience supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and other support needs to live the lives they choose.
Operating across communities throughout Scotland, Cornerstone delivers a wide range of high-quality, person-centred services including supported living, care at home and innovative models such as Shared Lives.
The organisation supports thousands of individuals each year, helping them develop greater independence, build meaningful relationships and actively participate in their communities.
With a strong reputation for quality, collaboration and innovation, Cornerstone combines practical care delivery with a commitment to continuous improvement and sector leadership. Their work is underpinned by a clear purpose to improve lives and a commitment to ensuring every decision they make has a positive impact on the people they support.
Values
Cornerstone’s culture is built around a strong set of values that place people at the heart of everything they do. These include being caring, person-centred, professional and pioneering - values that guide both their approach to service delivery and how they work as an organisation. The organisation fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment where employees are encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas and continuously develop.
There is a strong emphasis on learning and progression, with clear pathways for career development and a commitment to investing in skills, leadership and training across all levels. Cornerstone promotes a culture of trust, accountability and empowerment, where colleagues are supported to achieve their potential and deliver meaningful outcomes.
The organisation also prioritises employee voice, wellbeing and flexibility, recognising that a motivated and supported workforce is essential to delivering exceptional care. Above all, the culture is driven by a shared purpose - making a genuine, lasting difference in people’s lives.
Future Direction
Cornerstone is entering an ambitious new phase through its 2026 - 2030 strategy, focused on strengthening both its services and its role within the wider social care sector. Building on a period of financial recovery and organisational stability, the organisation is now prioritising sustainable growth, digital innovation and enhanced service quality.
A key focus for the business is expanding innovative care models and improving outcomes through data, technology and evidence-based practice. Cornerstone aims to embed digital tools across the organisation to improve efficiency, enable better decision-making and ultimately free up more time for frontline care delivery.
The organisation is also committed to strengthening partnerships with local authorities, academic institutions and other providers, helping to influence policy and improve the overall quality of care across Scotland.
New hires will play a critical role in supporting this strategy - bringing financial insight, supporting operational performance and helping to shape a more sustainable, innovative and high-performing organisation for the future.
