We are recruiting for Support Workers to support individuals within their own homes in the Niddrie area of Edinburgh
The people we support have faced a lot of challenges in the past because of their learning disabilities, Autism and mental and physical health issues, but this hasn’t stopped them from enjoying life! They enjoy lots of activities, including going to parties, shopping, going to the cinema, eating out, travelling, playing sports and spending time with friends and family. However, they’re always up for trying new things, so are looking for inventive people who are up for the challenge.
Our support team are very diverse and work well together to ensure the people we support are happy and safe in their own homes. This can include:
•Supporting them with medication
•Cooking
•Assisting with personal care
•Maintaining the homes of people supported and managing their finances
Our team provide support 24 hours a day, so we are looking for some flexibility to work a variety of shifts, including some weekends, sleepovers and occasional waking nights if required. We are looking for part-time (24+ hours) and full-time Support Workers and our shift patterns are:
•7.30am – 9.30pm
•8am – 9.30pm
•8am to 9pm
•9am – 9pm
•9am – 11pm
•11pm – 7am (sleepovers) Sometimes the people we support really need a male or female person to support them. For the Niddrie service, a female colleague is required. This is a genuine occupational requirement as defined by the Equality Act Your values: The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun!
They like people who are reliable and honest, so they can build trust and know that you have their best interests at heart.
