Macduff
£12.60 per hour

We are looking for caring, trustworthy and positive individuals whose personality and values match the environment of our service. Every day is different, as we promote our service users to make their own choices and live as independently as possible. The role is extremely rewarding, and you can really make a difference.
About the role:
Our service is better described as a happy and wholesome community with most service users having been neighbours for a considerable time. Most of the services are based at one complex in Macduff which adds to the community feel and the connections that are built. We have a very settled and happy staff team, many who have been with us for between 20 and 30 years and have a vast amount of knowledge and experience of working with the people we support.
Our service users enjoy each other’s company when they have the opportunity to meet at the events which are organised at the hub. Although most people live in single tenancies there are groups of people, we support those who have shared interests, they enjoy meeting and doing activities with their friendship group.
We would require a female support worker to support female service users with their day to day lives. The role would be varied from providing support/advice, helping with personal care, household tasks and accessing the community.
