Could you support people to lead great lives?
Come and join our amazing team.
We are a charitable organisation based in the Scottish Borders. We provide care and support to adults to lead great lives. Most of the people we currently support have learning disabilities or mental health problems. Our team help people to live an independent and fulfilling life in the local community.
We are growing and currently require additional Support Workers in our Galashiels, Jedburgh, Kelso, Selkirk (Central) service and while some experience would be an advantage, we are equally keen to support people to develop the skills required. All training will be provided. Willingness to undertake an SVQ qualification is necessary and if you have a strong value base, enthusiasm, commitment, a good sense of humour plus the ability to work with people with a disability in a positive, honest manner then we would like to hear from you.
We are an accredited Disability Confident organisation and we encourage applications from all members of the community.
