About Real Life Options

Real Life Options is a registered charity dedicated to empowering people with learning disabilities, autism, and other complex needs to live fulfilling, independent lives. As we continue to grow, we are looking for committed Support Workers who share our values and want to make a real difference in their community.

About the Role

In our Inverurie service, Support Workers help individuals with a wide range of needs to lead enriched and independent lives. This includes:

1. Supporting with day-to-day living tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and shopping
2. Providing personal care and support with medication (full training provided)
3. Assisting individuals in attending medical appointments and managing household mail
4. Encouraging and enabling participation in social activities such as parties, bingo, and community events
5. Promoting independence and helping individuals achieve their personal goals

6. Learning disabilities
7. Autism (including Fragile-X)
8. Epilepsy
9. Down Syndrome
10. Cerebral Palsy
11. Mental health conditions

Some individuals may display challenging behaviour, including verbal or physical incidents and self-injurious behaviour. Experience in this area, particularly with de-escalation techniques and Positive Behaviour Support Plans, is highly desirable. Full training is provided.

26. Staff recognition initiatives

What We’re Looking For

29. Good communicator
30. Passionate
31. Reliable
32. Caring
33. Flexible
34. Inclusive
35. Self-motivated
36. Strong personal values

If you said "yes" to six or more, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

Additional Requirements

37. Drivers preferred: Due to limited public transport during shift times, having a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is strongly preferred.
38. PVG Membership (Adult): An Enhanced PVG check will be required.
39. Shadow shifts will be completed before fully starting, tailored to your experience level.
