Summary
Looking for a part-time job where you can make a difference? You're in luck as we're on the look out for colleagues for our amazing #TeamWater in Strichen on a 10 hours per week or relief basis
The Role
The main purpose of your role will be to support an amazing gentleman in his own home with all aspects of his daily living, e.g. shopping, finances, cooking, meal planning, housework and personal care.
With the gentleman also enjoys various hobbies and interests, you may also find yourself getting involved in swimming, the outdoors, watching and listening to sports and going for walks to name a few.
We recruit on values and transferrable skills, so you don't need experience or qualifications to start your career with us. We have our own Training Academy that'll give you all the skills you'll need, including the opportunity to complete your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification.
About You

Good communication skills
A caring attitude and approach
A positive approach to learning
Confidence in the use of computers
The ability to cook
Confidence to provide support in the water as swimming is a regular activity
It would be great if you were also a driver with at least a years' experience on the roads as the gentleman we support has his own mobility car, however, this isn't a deal breaker for the right candidate.

Our dedicated team provides 24/7 care and support which includes early mornings, evenings, sleepovers, weekends and public holidays.
We are looking to fill these vacancies as soon as possible and hold the right to close our advert early if we receive many applications. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
