Summary
About Our Service
Capability Scotland is a well-established and respected provider of community-based facilitation services throughout Dumfries and Galloway. We take pride in our creativity, flexibility, and commitment to thinking outside the box to provide the very best support for the people we work with.
Our service empowers individuals to engage in employment, education, volunteering, and activities that matter to them within their local communities. To achieve this, Capability Scotland offers:
A wrap-around rehabilitation service for people with an acquired brain injury
A community facilitation service for people with physical disabilities
Self-directed support brokerage and payroll services
About the Role
Due to retirement, we are currently looking for a Rehabilitation Assistant (24-hour position) to join our friendly and dedicated Acquired Brain Injury Service team in Dumfries.
In this role, you’ll take a person-centred approach to supporting people with an acquired brain injury, helping them to work toward their personal goals and maintain independence. Every day is different — you might be providing one-to-one support, helping someone participate in a community activity, or offering gentle encouragement as they rebuild skills and confidence.
This is a 24-hour contracted position, working Monday to Thursday, 10am–4pm with occasional additional hours required for day trips etc. The role includes some physical activity, such as providing support with mobility and pushing wheelchairs. While our base is in Dumfries, a flexible approach to service delivery is essential, as some work may take place in different community settings.
About You
We’re looking for someone kind, motivated, and ready to make a genuine difference in people’s lives. Ideally, you’ll bring:
Experience of working in a similar care or support environment
A genuine interest in learning and personal development
A care-related SVQ Level 3, or the willingness to gain this qualification within a set timeframe
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
The ability to work both independently and as part of a supportive team
A full driving licence and access to a car, as flexibility is key in this role
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
For an informal chat about the role, please contact Nicola Ross, Team Leader, on 07815 654562.
Capability Scotland’s benefits:
A generous salary of £15,767.00 pa / £12.60 per hour
We offer a fully funded SVQ – a qualification which is yours for life.
Most services offer, set 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks rolling or monthly rotas so you always know when you are working and can plan life outside of work.
32 days' holidays per year, increasing to 37 with service.
Free PVG checks throughout your employment.
Up to 8% company contribution pension scheme.
Up to 3 x annual salary death in service.
Perks at Work – shopping discount scheme.
