Job description

Bank Rehabilitation Support Worker

Location: North Glasgow (Graham Anderson House)

Salary: £14.09 per hour

We welcome experienced carers and support workers for other care settings, giving you the opportunity to put any transferable skills to their full potential.

Working in brain injury is different to other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence to live independently.

You will share the journey with these inspiring people as they overcome hurdles, achieve milestones, and reach the goals they’ve set. Graham Anderson House is home to many of the people we support, however, some of them will move on. You can make a massive difference in that time.

The Role

We will train you to provide personalised support to our adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, socialising – the daily routine of regular life.

It is a really varied job, with all kinds of different activities to organise and participate in art, crafts, music, sports, gardening, shopping, swimming, college, employment and countless others. We also have our own indoor and outdoor gymnasiums.

You’ll get huge job satisfaction from seeing the people you are supporting do more for themselves and live the life they want to live. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you all the way on your own journey.
