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!

Are you an experienced Care Assistant or Support Worker?

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

If this sounds like you, we are now recruiting for a flexible Bank/Casual Support Worker to expand our team in Dollar.

At our Dollar service in Clackmannanshire, we support 4 fun and outgoing individuals to live in their own flats in a shared building. The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, mental health and previous trauma and are looking for friendly, caring and supportive people to help them build confidence and improve their independent living skills so they get the most from life!

The people we support enjoy a wide range of different activities, like socialising, going to the movies, shopping, making TikToks, watching and playing football, cinema, walking, playing games and having barbecues in their shared garden. They’re looking for positive and patient people who can support them to try new activities and help them achieve their goals, which include going to college and finding a job.

Our staff team are very experienced and also support with:

• Medication administration
• Cooking
• Encouraging the people we support to clean and maintain their homes and manage their finances
• Social situations and responding to situations in a trauma‑informed way

We are currently recruiting for a Female Bank Support Worker to join our team.

We provide support 24 hours a day, so we ask for some flexibility to work a variety of shifts including day shifts, back shifts, waking nights and sleepovers, with some weekend work included.

Your values:

We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience. This is why we're really passionate about recruiting to individuals’ values and we recruit people from all walks of life; from people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all.

Naturally it is important too that you share our company values – We Include; We Deliver; We Aspire; We Respect; We Enable – which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support. People's values are important to use, so we look for people with:

• A strong work ethic
