Weekend Support Worker 7-16hrs - 418855

Share Scotland is the Care Sector's best kept secret. This is your opportunity to join an innovative, family-led organisation. Working as part of a dynamic and supportive team, you will be an enthusiastic person who can bring their own unique skills, interests and ideas to the role.

For almost 30 years, Share Scotland has worked with adults with complex disabilities to provide individually tailored care, supporting our service users to actively pursue their chosen lifestyle within their own home and local community.

If you have the right personality and attitude, we can provide you with expert training to do the job. If you have experience or a relevant qualification, even better!

We are looking for dedicated and committed individuals to support a young gentleman as he progresses into his own tenancy and independent living. The role will involve 24 hour support and the ideal candidates will have experience of supporting individuals with autism and mental health issues.

The gentleman is very able and independent with a wide range of interests and knowledge. We are in the first instance looking for weekend support workers but this will progress to 24/7 support and we need the right team of people to deliver this.
