Since the early days, we’ve grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of ‘Your Life, Your Choice’ and our strategy ‘Best Lives Possible’.

We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!

We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
Are you an experienced, fun and honest individual who loves going the extra mile to improve the lives of others?

Is it important for you to have a satisfying job where you feel supported?

If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you’ve been looking for!
We are currently recruiting for full-time Support Workers for 37.5 hours per week (UK driving license holders preferred)
We are currently recruiting for a new team member to support 8 individuals in their own homes in the Parkhead area of Glasgow. We support individuals from the ages of 40 to 69 with a wide variety of complex health needs, including epilepsy, visual impairments and diabetes to ensure they live the best lives possible. For most of the people we support, this includes full moving and positioning support, meals, accessing the community, medication and personal care.
In the past, the people we support have faced a lot of challenges but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy some of the same activities as each other, such as parties, arts and crafts, attending community events, shopping and going out to eat. However, they also enjoy their own individual activities, including listening to music and attending chapel and would love people with similar interests to support them.

To ensure the people we support have freedom to do the activities they enjoy, our shifts start at 7am and finish at 9pm. We support these individuals 7 days a week, so require flexibility to work some weekends, waking nights and days on a rota basis.
‘This role is an hourly paid role at £12.50 hourly rate. The salary advertising is an example of the annualised salary for someone working 37.5 hours a week. If you work part time, this will differ’

Your values:
The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun!

They like people who are reliable and honest, which helps build trust so they know that you have their best interests at heart.
