Support Worker – Day Service
Location: Inverurie
Roles Available: Full Time, Part Time, and Relief
Hourly Rate: £12.60
Drivers Preferred (Essential if living outside Inverurie)
Real Life Options is a registered charity currently expanding our services. We are seeking enthusiastic and adaptable Support Workers to join our brand-new Day Service in Inverurie, where every day offers something new.
This is a highly rewarding and varied role, supporting a mix of adults with additional support needs in a community-focused environment. You’ll help individuals gain confidence, independence, and new experiences through meaningful activity and tailored support.
About the Role
You will work directly with adults who have a range of support needs, including:
Learning disabilities
Autism
Mental health conditions
Epilepsy
Down syndrome
Cerebral palsy
Many of the people we support (PWS) may lack motivation or confidence to engage in activities they have previously shown interest in. As such, we’re looking for someone with a positive, encouraging personality who can support individuals to stay engaged and empowered.
Your duties will include:
Planning, leading and taking part in a variety of activities, both in-house and out in the community
Supporting physical activities that promote health and well-being
Encouraging and enabling individuals to meet their own personal goals
Providing personal care, medication support, meal preparation, and assistance with domestic tasks
General housekeeping tasks, in line with infection prevention and control
Communicating with members of the public, families, and professionals as our day service is open to the wider community
Supporting individuals who may present with challenging behaviours—experience in this area is highly desirable
What We’re Looking For
This role requires someone who is:
Adaptable and resilient – every day brings something different
Able to remain calm and supportive under pressure
Experienced in working with individuals with complex needs (preferred)
Confident in managing behaviours using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) techniques (training provided)
Skilled in engaging with a wide range of people, from families to professionals to members of the public
Enthusiastic, reliable, and a good communicator
Shift Patterns
The day service operates between 9:00am – 8:00pm, 5 days out of 7 (including alternate weekends)
Due to the variety of individual needs, flexibility around shift patterns is essential
Driving Requirements
Drivers are preferred, especially for applicants living outside Inverurie
You must have a current valid UK driving licence and access to your own car
Please note: stating you are a driver without access to a vehicle will not meet the requirements for this role due to limited public transport during shift times
Skills & Attributes
If you can confidently tick six or more of the following, we’d like to hear from you:
Honest – Reliable – Caring – Flexible – Inclusive – Strong Communicator – Passionate – Self-Motivated – Strong Values
What We Offer
28 days paid holiday (pro-rata for part-time staff)
Accredited training and development opportunities
Employer-contributed pension scheme
Health Cash Plan (for contracted roles)
£10,000 life cover
Employee Assistance Programme (medical helpline, counselling, financial/legal support)
Reward Gateway – discounts on retail, travel and services
Cycle to Work scheme and financial wellbeing support
Refer a Friend bonus (terms apply)
Recognition initiatives
Mileage paid at 35p per mile (first 10,000 miles per year)
Additional Information
An Enhanced Adult PVG is required (we will support you through the process)
As this is a new service, there will be no traditional shadow shifts—so previous experience is a strong advantage
Applicants must be comfortable with varied demands and working under pressure
Please ensure your email is checked regularly, including junk/spam folders, as this will be the primary method of contact
Real Life Options is proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and will make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process for anyone with a disability, health condition or other need that may affect their performance.
