Are you someone who loves helping others live life to the fullest? At CrossReach, we’re looking for kind, capable, and caring people to join our team as Care Workers. Whether it’s helping someone with daily tasks, offering a listening ear, or simply being there when it matters most—you’ll be making a real difference, every single day.
This isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to support people in living independently, with dignity, and on their own terms.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Supporting people with everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, and personal care.
* Helping service users build confidence and independence in their own homes.
* Being a friendly face and a trusted presence—someone they can rely on.
* Working flexibly, including sleepovers or evenings, depending on the needs of the people you support.
* Creating support plans, attending reviews, and helping people achieve their goals.
* Promoting choice, inclusion, and wellbeing in everything you do.
What You’ll Bring
* A caring nature and a genuine desire to help others.
* Confidence to work on your own and as part of a team.
* A good sense of initiative—you’ll know when to step in and when to step back.
* Basic computer skills (we’ll help you with the rest).
* Ideally, an SVQ Level 3 in Social Care—or a willingness to work towards it.
Our Values
We work in Christ’s name, and our Christian ethos is at the heart of everything we do. You don’t need to be a Christian yourself, but you do need to be respectful of our values and support others in their faith if they choose.
Requirements
* Membership in the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme.
* Registration with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
