Support Workers – Make Every Day Meaningful
Hours: Up to 30 hours per week | £12.60 per hour,£19,708.92 per year pro-rata. Monday–Friday (school hours available) with occasional evenings & weekends
Location: Perth – The Studio, Day Centre & Community Outreach Services
Empowering Independence. Enriching Lives. Inspiring Possibilities.
At Capability Scotland, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to live life to the fullest. Our mission is simple: to put disabled people at the heart of everything we do.
We’re now looking for experienced and compassionate Support Workers to join our vibrant Day Centre and Community Outreach teams in Perth. If you’re passionate about supporting adults with complex disabilities — and you want every day at work to truly make a difference — this is the role for you.
About the Role
Our Support Workers enjoy the best of both worlds — supporting individuals in our purpose-built day hub and within their own homes and communities.
You’ll help people access our amazing facilities, including sensory spaces, craft and kitchen areas, hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy, and accessible gym — all designed to promote independence, creativity, and wellbeing.
You’ll also empower individuals to live confidently in the community — offering one-to-one support at home or out and about at shops, social clubs, or leisure activities.
No two days are ever the same. You might be:
Supporting with personal care, medication, or mealtimes
Helping someone bake, paint, or play music
Accompanying customers on trips to the zoo, theatre, or football matches
Encouraging new experiences and helping people reach their personal goals
Job description: Support Worker (Day Service) / Community Living Assistant
If you’re outgoing, creative, and empathetic, you’ll fit right in. We’re a supportive, energetic team who value kindness, collaboration, and a sense of fun.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
We know our people are our greatest strength — that’s why we support you to grow, thrive, and balance life outside of work.
Work-Life Balance:
Flexible, family-friendly hours (typically 9:30am–3:30pm, Mon–Fri)
Occasional evenings & weekends for special activities — with at least 2 weeks’ notice
Rewarding Pay & Benefits:
£12.60 per hour (up to £19,708.92 per year pro-rata)
£13.23 per hour for nightshifts
32 days’ annual leave, rising to 37 with service
Fully funded SVQ qualification – yours for life
Free PVG checks and £600 Refer a Friend incentive
Pension scheme with up to 8% employer contribution
Cycle to Work & Perks at Work shopping discounts
Blue Light and Concerts for Carers cards
24/7 employee assistance programme for wellbeing and advice
Set rotas so you can plan ahead and enjoy true work-life balance
About You
You’re someone who believes in people’s potential and is motivated by making a real difference.
You bring:
Experience in day centres or community-based care for adults with disabilities
Skills in personal care, medication support, and person-centred planning
Empathy, patience, and creativity — with a willingness to adapt and learn
Experience supporting people with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, or Acquired Brain/Spinal Injuries
(Bonus) Knowledge of Makaton or AAC communication aids
