Support Worker

At CrossReach, we’ve been supporting people across Scotland for over 150 years – and we’re still growing. Right now, we’re looking for caring, compassionate individuals to join our Learning Disabilities team as Support Workers.

This is more than just a job. It’s a chance to help someone live the life they choose – and to make a real difference every single day.

What will you be doing?

Working independently and as part of a small, dedicated team, you’ll support adults with learning disabilities to live as independently as possible. That could mean:

• Helping someone cook a meal, do their shopping, or keep their home safe and tidy
• Supporting personal care routines with dignity and respect
• Accompanying them to appointments, work placements, or social activities
• Promoting choice, independence, and inclusion at every turn
• Leading on care plans and reviews as a key worker
• Carrying out sleepovers and responding to emergencies when needed
• Working flexibly to meet needs across a 24-hour period
• Every day will bring something new – and the opportunity to learn and grow alongside the people you support.

What do you need to bring?

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Empathetic, reliable and committed to person-centred care
• Able to work confidently on your own and as part of a team
• A strong communicator who builds trust easily
• Comfortable using computers and online systems (for things like e-learning and support plans)
• Willing to work towards SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (if you don’t already have it)
• Experienced in social care – though we’ll provide full training if you’re new to the sector
• This role requires membership of the PVG Scheme and registration with the SSSC, but don’t worry – we’ll guide you through the process.

Why join CrossReach?

We’re proud to be one of Scotland’s most established social care providers – but we’re also forward-thinking, innovative and committed to doing things properly.

As part of our team, you’ll get:

• A rewarding role with real purpose
• Ongoing support and training
• A chance to gain recognised qualifications
• Access to employee benefits and a generous pension
• A friendly, inclusive workplace where you can be yourself
