It is 5 minutes from the subway and Partick Thistle Stadium.
There are usually 4 team members at the service at a time. One Person we support has epilepsy but all relevant training will be provided so previous experience is beneficial but not essential.
The people we support here love to go out to the community and shops. They love to go out for runs in the car and to use public transport including buses and trains in the area. They are keen to be supported to access new and local opportunities so someone who is great at identifying these things would be perfect. Also some of the people we support love football, Celtic and memorabilia.

A wakened night shift is 9.30pm - 7.30am (occasional cover only)
