• A team-player attitude — reliable, flexible and positive
• Willingness to learn — full training provided, including moving & handling / personal care support

What you’ll get in return

• Training & development opportunities
• ❤️ A chance to change lives through meaningful work
• Health & wellbeing support (as per charity policy)
• Family-friendly policies where possible

About Quarriers Village & Quarriers

Quarriers Village — situated between the villages of Bridge of Weir and Kilmacolm — was originally built as a “cottage-homes” village in the late 19th century by philanthropist William Quarrier. Today, Quarriers is a leading Scottish social‑care charity which provides support for adults with disabilities, offering residential and supported‑living services among other care provisions.

Because Quarriers Village is a rural / low‑transport area and the people we support may rely on mobility vehicles or adapted transport, having a driving licence and access to a car is essential for this role.
