If you share these values we’d love you to join our team.

We are currently recruiting for a Support Worker at our Bield at Home service in Linlithgow. The role supports our values and would offer you the opportunity to work within an organisation that is committed to making a difference to the lives of older people.

If you have a genuine interest in delivering the best possible care to older people please get in touch.

Whilst experience in working in a similar environment is desirable, we want to recruit people who share our values and want to make a difference to the lives of others. We have a comprehensive training programme that will support new colleagues with limited experience in care.

Most importantly, we want to hear from people who have a genuine interest in people and supporting them to lead their best life.

You must be able to achieve SSSC registration within regulatory timescales.
