Job description

Since the early days, we've grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of 'Your Life, Your Choice' and our strategy 'Best Lives Possible'. We have strong values and we're proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years, we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards! We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going 'the extra mile' for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development. We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop, should you decide you want to develop your career with us.

Who you'll be supporting & more about the role: Are you a positive and motivated person who is experienced in supporting people who can exhibit behaviour that challenges? Are you looking to gain great experience in a satisfying job where you feel supported? If this sounds like you, maybe a Support Worker role with an award-winning charity is the change you've been looking for! At our Fraserburgh service, we support 4 ladies who live in their own homes to live as independently as possible. The ladies we support have learning disabilities and would benefit greatly from staff who are proactive, fun and understanding. They enjoy a wide range of different activities, like movie nights, arts and crafts, gaming and board games, bingo nights, going for walks and indoor BBQs. They're always up for trying new things, so are looking for inventive people who are up for the challenge.
