We’re on the lookout for caring, capable people to join us as Relief Support Workers. Whether you’re picking up a few extra shifts or returning to work after some time away, this is a great way to get involved in meaningful care work while keeping flexibility.

As a Relief Support Worker, you’ll step in to support individuals with daily life—everything from helping with personal care, supporting with household tasks, and encouraging people to pursue hobbies, work or education. You’ll also be a friendly face during appointments, a reassuring presence on tough days, and someone who listens without judgement.

This isn’t just a fill-in role—it’s a vital part of how we support people to live independently, with dignity and choice. You’ll follow personalised support plans and, where needed, work alone to provide one-to-one care in a way that fits each person’s needs.

What We’re Looking For

• Someone with a kind heart and a level head
• Confidence working independently and using your initiative
• SVQ Level 3 in Social Care (or a willingness to work towards it)
• Basic computer skills for e-learning and record keeping
• A flexible approach and the ability to jump in when needed
• Respect for CrossReach’s Christian ethos
  
  

What We Offer

• A flexible role that fits around your other commitments
• The chance to make a genuine impact in someone’s life
• A supportive team and plenty of training
  
  

If you’re reliable, caring and ready to help when it counts, we’d love to have you on our relief team. Apply now and be part of something truly worthwhile.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services.
