Job description

Full time (37.5) and part time roles available.

Would you relish the opportunity to work with vulnerable people living in your local community, making a real difference to someone’s life?

Looking for an exciting, fresh start in the new year? Are you a people person who enjoys forming relationships?

Why not join our NEW team of Homecare Mobile in Oban? With various shifts on offer, there’s lots of opportunities to gain valuable experience within different settings.

We are looking for nurturing and supportive individuals who can work closely with a colleague as part of a team; providing high levels of care to help reduce unplanned hospital and care home admissions. You will support people who do not have access to regular care in their own homes.

Our care-at-home service enables people to stay in their own homes by providing help with daily living. Our role is not to do things for people, but to work with them, and we support everyone differently.

Mobile care support is new to Argyll & Bute. The service aims to:

1. Support people to get home safe and well from hospital.
2. Ensure that someone has the support they need to prevent re-admission.
3. Provide short-term care-at-home; assessing each person’s needs to provide the best possible support now and in the future.

Additional Benefits:

1. 35 days holiday per year
2. Fully funded SVQ qualification with support from a dedicated team
3. Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and sick leave
4. A Defined Contribution pension scheme, with incremental employer contributions
5. Membership to Telus; employee well-being and perks platform
6. Membership of a credit union
7. Cycle to work scheme and more!

If you think this could be the role for you, we’d love to hear from you!
