Job description

Looking for a job that's genuinely rewarding and makes a real difference?

Our lovely #TeamNLStrathyclyde in Airdrie are looking for a caring, patient and fun-loving *female to join them supporting a lady to live independently and continue to enjoy the things she loves. This is a permanent opportunity on a part-time basis of 24 hours a week.

No two days are the same, and you’ll be there to support her in enjoying the things she loves most.

She enjoys getting out and about in her local community, getting creative with arts and crafts, and cooking healthy, nutritious meals. You’ll also support her for some well-deserved self-care, helping her to enjoy regular trips to get her hair and nails done.

About you

You don’t need previous care experience — we care more about who you are and the values you bring. Full training and support will be provided, including a funded SVQ qualification.

• Kind, caring and compassionate
• Patient, positive and reliable
• A good communicator with a sense of humour
• Creative and willing to try new things
• Comfortable using a computer

Due to the lady we support having her own mobility car, we would need you to have a full manual UK driving licence.

The hours

Typically shifts will be 9am-7.30pm, 7 days a week. Weekends and public holidays are shared on a rotational basis.

This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to make a real difference while doing something meaningful.

You’ll also receive:

• Funded qualifications & ongoing career development
• SSSC registration and PVG fees paid
• Up to £500 towards driving lessons
• No uniform - wear your own clothes
• Employee discounts, including shopping, cinema, holidays & gyms
• 24/7 employee support
• Long-service awards & colleague referral bonuses

If you’re kind, dependable, love helping others and fancy a role where you can genuinely brighten someone’s day, we’d love to hear from you.

*Female is an Occupational Requirement for this position under the Equality Act 2010.

Please note - If you have spent more than 12 months out with the UK (excluding France, Germany. Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre-employment checks.

If you’re successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.
