Job description

Please note: We are not currently able to offer visa sponsorship for this position. You must have the right to work in the UK to be considered for this role.

At Corbenic, we believe everyone deserves to live a life filled with purpose, dignity and opportunity. As a Relief Support Worker, you'll play an important role in supporting adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs to live fulfilling, meaningful and independent lives within our unique residential community in rural Perthshire.

This is more than a support worker role. You'll become part of a welcoming and supportive community where person-centred care, meaningful relationships and opportunities for personal development are at the heart of everything we do.

About the role

This is a relief position, providing flexible cover across our residential houses and services as required. Hours are not guaranteed and will depend on the needs of the community.

As a Relief Support Worker, you'll work alongside our established teams to provide practical, emotional and personal care support to residents, helping them to enjoy everyday life, develop their independence and participate fully in the community.

You'll support residents with a range of daily activities, both within their homes and across the wider community. This may include supporting individuals with personal care, preparing meals, attending appointments, accessing activities and developing everyday living skills.

No two days are the same, and you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with residents while contributing to a positive, safe and supportive environment.

Key responsibilities

• Provide person-centred support to adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs, promoting dignity, choice, independence and wellbeing.

• Support residents with everyday living activities, including personal care, dressing, washing and maintaining personal hygiene where required.

• Encourage and support residents to develop their independence, confidence and practical life skills.

• Support residents to participate in meaningful activities, hobbies, social opportunities and community involvement.

• Assist with meal preparation, household tasks and maintaining a comfortable living environment.

• Build positive and respectful relationships with residents, their families, colleagues and other professionals.

• Follow individual support plans, risk assessments and organisational policies and procedures.

• Support the safe administration of medication in accordance with Corbenic's medication procedures, following appropriate training.

• Maintain accurate records and communicate relevant information to colleagues and managers.

• Promote the health, safety and wellbeing of residents at all times.

• Work flexibly across different residential houses and services to provide cover where required.

• Participate in mandatory training, supervision and other relevant development activities.

• Carry out other reasonable duties as requested by your line manager or the Community's Senior Leadership Team.

About you

We're looking for caring, reliable and motivated individuals who are passionate about supporting others and making a positive difference to people's lives.

You'll have:

• A compassionate, patient and respectful approach.

• Good communication and relationship-building skills.

• An understanding of the importance of promoting dignity, choice and independence.

• The ability to build positive relationships and work effectively as part of a team.

• The confidence to work independently, use your initiative and respond appropriately to different situations.

• A flexible and dependable approach, with a willingness to work across different houses and services.

• An awareness of health, safety and the wellbeing of others.

• A commitment to providing high-quality, person-centred support and upholding Corbenic's values.

Desirable

• Experience working in health, social care, residential care or a similar support environment.

• Experience supporting adults with learning disabilities or additional support needs.

• Relevant qualifications in Health & Social Care or a related field.

• Current SSSC registration or a willingness to meet the relevant registration requirements.

Previous experience is desirable but not essential. We're interested in people who have the right attitude, values and willingness to learn.

You'll also be required to have PVG membership and undertake mandatory training and any other relevant training required for the role.

Why join Corbenic?

At Corbenic, you'll become part of a close-knit community where your work makes a genuine difference to residents' lives every day.
