At Aspris, we believe that all young people deserve the best chance to grow, develop and receive support that prepares them for a bright future. Our Residential Support Workers are crucial in helping us to achieve our vision.

What The Role Looks Like

As a Night Support Worker, you will provide emotional support to our young people and help with day-to-day activities such as getting washed, dressed and out to school. With the good times will come challenging times, with our homes accommodating young people with autism, learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs. Although our Residential Support Workers tell us that the strong relationships and lasting memories that you create together will more than make up for these challenges. For them, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a young person overcome difficulties and progress.

Please note: Due to the location of this home and nature of the role, candidates must have a full UK driving licence as you are required to transport our young people to external locations.

Who We're Looking For

We’re looking for compassionate, friendly and genuinely caring individuals who want to give our young people the best possible chance to succeed.

If You’re The Type Of Person

• Thrives as part of a team
• Is resilient, patient and understanding
• Has a natural flair for making people smile
• Is always around to lend a listening ear
• Is partial to a film night, baking or Xbox game

This could be the perfect role for you. And don’t worry if you don’t have any experience working with children, we will provide all the support and training you need to build a fulfilling career that you can be proud of, including fully funded qualifications.

Our homes provide a unique community-based, living and learning environment in support of some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the country. The team assists children and young people aged 8 to 18 years to be fully included within the local community and to ensure they have the capacity to prosper beyond Aspris Scotland into the wider post-school world.

What’s In It For You

We offer a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most. We also understand that not everyone can do set shifts, so we're very flexible with hours to suit your needs.

On top of this, you’ll also get access to a range of fantastic benefits including:

• Healthcare cash plan, wellbeing support and loans
• An exclusive rewards and benefits platform
• High-street and online discounts through Blue Light Card
• Cycle to work scheme and gym membership
• Refer a friend bonus scheme
• Learning and development opportunities
• Hours that suit your lifestyle

Explore these further in our benefits page.

So, if you’re ready to join a values-led organisation that puts children at the heart of everything we do and genuinely cares about their employees, we’d love to hear from you.
