Summary
Are you looking for a flexible job with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? We're looking for people like you to join our #TeamBobCooney relief pool in Aberdeen.
The Role
As a relief colleague, you will play an important part in our team, ensuring that we still provide the best care and support possible during times of staff training, holidays and absence.
You'll become part of a friendly, close-knit and dedicated team who support four adults with learning and physical disabilities to live in their own shared home. The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same.
Your main aim will be supporting each individual with their day to day needs, including personal care, shopping, finances, cooking, housework and medication.
As all of the individuals love to get out and be part of their local community, you’ll also find yourself getting involved in activities like the cinema, musicals, gardening, cars and going for walks to name a few.
About You
We're ideally looking for people who will bring hands on creativity with genuine passion for bringing joy through drama, art, music and imaginative activities. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact in a supportive care environment where your talents can truly shine.
You'll need to be a friendly team player with strong communication skills, the ability to adapt to change and a flexible approach to work. You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and we'll give you all the training you'll need if you're successful. We'll pay you for your training and we'll even fund your SVQ qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
Shift Patterns
As we're dedicated to providing the best support, tailored to the needs of each individual shift patterns usually fall within the hours of 0730-2200 hours and include sleepovers (10am - 10am the following day), weekend and public holiday also form part of our rotas.
The sleepover part of your shift is not included in our contracted hours, so you will receive an additional payment of £100.80 for every sleepover shift that you work.
Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we can't wait to hear from you!
We're looking to fill these vacancies as soon as possible and reserve the right to close the advert early if we find suitable candidates before our closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy.
If you’re successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.
Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
