Our service empowers individuals to engage in employment, education, volunteering, and activities that matter to them within their local communities. To achieve this, Capability Scotland offers:

About the Role

We're currently looking for a Relief Rehabilitation Assistant to join our friendly and dedicated Acquired Brain Injury Service team in Dumfries.

In this role, you'll take a person-centred approach to supporting people with an acquired brain injury, helping them to work toward their personal goals and maintain independence. Every day is different - you might be providing one-to-one support, helping someone participate in a community activity, or offering gentle encouragement as they rebuild skills and confidence.

The role includes some physical activity, such as providing support with mobility and pushing wheelchairs. The position is offered on a relief basis, and cover may be required between Monday and Thursday, 10am-4pm on an ad hoc basis. While our base is in Dumfries, a flexible approach to service delivery is essential, as some work may take place in different community settings.

• Experience of working in a similar care or support environment
• A genuine interest in learning and personal development
• A care-related SVQ Level 3, or the willingness to gain this qualification within a set timeframe
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a supportive team
• A full driving licence and access to a car, as flexibility is key in this role

Capability Scotland's benefits:

• A generous salary of £13.45 per hour
• We offer a fully funded SVQ - a qualification which is yours for life.
• Most services offer, set 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks rolling or monthly rotas so you always know when you are working and can plan life outside of work.
• 32 days' holidays per year, increasing to 37 with service.
• Free PVG checks throughout your employment.
• Up to 8% company contribution pension scheme.
• Up to 3 x annual salary death in service.
• Perks at Work - shopping discount scheme.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• 24/7 employee assistance programme.
