What we’re looking for:
6. Previous experience in a senior or supervisory role in a social care environment.
7. Strong organisational, administrative and record‑keeping skills.
8. Excellent leadership and people skills: ability to motivate, support, and guide support workers.
9. Flexibility: willing to work across various shifts (including nights, early starts, late finishes, weekends) and sleepovers.
10. A commitment to person‑centred care, upholding dignity, safety, rights, and promoting independence.
What we offer:
11. A full‑time senior role with meaningful responsibility and clear impact.
12. Opportunities to develop your leadership and management skills within a supportive team.
13. Working for Quarriers – one of Scotland’s leading social care charities with over 100 services across the country.
14. Access to staff benefits, training & development, and a chance to work in an organisation with strong values and commitment to quality care.
