Job description

Want to make a difference, but need flexibility too? As a Relief Support Worker with CrossReach, you can do just that – choosing shifts that fit your life while helping others live theirs to the fullest.

You’ll work in a Housing Support service, stepping in to support people through day-to-day life. That might mean helping with routines, encouraging healthy habits, or simply being there for a chat. You could be checking in on someone’s wellbeing, helping them attend appointments, or supporting them with things like budgeting or getting involved in the community.

You’ll be part of a caring, professional team – but confident working on your own too. You’ll help keep things running smoothly in the unit, assist with paperwork and plans, and bring a calm, practical approach to whatever the day brings.

We’re looking for someone with basic computer skills and either an SVQ Level 2 in Social Care or a willingness to work towards Level 3. Experience in support work is ideal, but not essential – we value kindness, reliability and a genuine desire to help. You’ll also need to be able to work within our Christian ethos and be registered (or willing to register) with the SSSC.

If you’re calm, caring and up for making a real difference – one shift at a time – we’d love to hear from you.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is without exception granted by UK Visas and Immigrations. We are required to check the entitlement to work in the UK of all prospective employees, regardless of nationality or job category.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.
