Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
We are currently recruiting for a Support Worker to join our dedicated team in Aberdeen. We support three people who like to be mobile but do require some support. The role is based in a two story detached house. They are proud of their appearance and their home, especially their bedrooms. When not out and about they enjoy jigsaws, soaps on TV, puzzles, playing games on their tablets and listening to music. They also like to visit nearby coffee shops to chat with locals and to fundraise. They are a happy group who do not like to sit in the house all day. There is always a sleepover on shift from 10am to 10am. We also have two 8am to 3pm shifts and one from 3pm to 10pm. You will be joining an award-winning charity, in an exciting role where you can transform someone else's life while transforming your own too!
