Job description

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.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is without exception granted by UK Visas and Immigrations.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.
