We are looking for Support Workers to join our well-established team in Dumfries supporting a young man in Lochmaben with a variety of support needs to lead his best life.
A bit about the young man you would be supporting:
I am interested in playing and watching football, it is important to me to be out and about every day. I enjoy keeping fit and do this by walking several miles a day, so staff should enjoy being outside and enjoy walking / have a level of fitness.
Our teams know that good support is essential for a good life, and so we work alongside every person we support and their family to help them live life to the full.
