We'll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills you'll need and we'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!

Due to the location of our service, if you don't live in or around Portlethen and are not a driver with access to your own vehicle, we will need you to be mindful of the location and be confident that you can travel for your shifts as our service has limited public transport links that fit with the shift patterns for this role.

• Family friendly leave options, including family, parental, bereavement and special leave
• Access to lots of discounts, including the cinema, gym memberships, holidays and shopping to name a few

Have any questions? If you'd like to find out more, please contact Nancy Donald on 01224 782271.

Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy.
