If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference, this could be the opportunity for you.
About the Role
As a Female Relief Support Worker, you’ll be part of a close-knit, supportive team helping individuals in their own homes and in the community. This is a relief role, ideal for someone flexible, motivated, and able to work independently.
You’ll support people with a variety of needs, helping them live as independently as possible. This includes:
Personal care and hygiene
Moving and handling
Daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, and shopping
Attending medical appointments
Supporting with budgeting and managing finances
Helping individuals stay socially connected through visits to friends and family
Encouraging involvement in community activities (e.g. cinema, swimming, bowling, clubs)
Accompanying walks and swimming sessions (you’ll need to enjoy being active and outdoors in all weathers)
Please note: This is a lone-working position, so you'll need to be confident and quick to adapt. Full training and shadow shifts will be provided.
Shift Pattern & Hours
This is a flexible relief role, covering a variety of shifts including days, evenings, weekends, and night shifts.
Early shifts start at 8:00 AM

A positive, proactive approach and willingness to learn
Ability to work independently
Previous experience is desirable, but not essential—full training provided
Must be comfortable with walking and swimming regularly
Must be able to travel to and work in Portlethen and the wider Aberdeenshire area
Why Join Real Life Options?

28 days paid holiday (pro-rata)
Fully accredited training and professional development
Employer-contributed pension scheme
