2. Offering companionship and meaningful interactions
3. Liaising with families and professionals to ensure the highest quality of care

How your day will look
A typical day may involve supporting someone with personal care, medication management, communication, and dietary needs. You may accompany them on shopping trips, attend music and art classes, meet friends, and help build their confidence and self-esteem. The people we support enjoy a wide range of activities, including swimming, digital art, recycling, and shopping.
Working Pattern
Our Coatbridge Service operates 24/7, with a variety of shifts, including early shifts (07:30–14:45), late shifts (14:45–22:00), as well as occasional long day shifts (07.30–22:00). There is a designated nightshift team but you may be asked to cover some sleepover duties to ensure round-the-clock support.
Join us in making a real difference and embark on a fulfilling journey at Sense Scotland.
