Summary
Is 2026 your year to shine in a brand new job with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else?
Our fabulous #TeamKinross are now on the lookout for a new caring, compassionate and patient *female colleague with a good sense of humour to join them on a part-time (11 hours per week) basis.
Our team and the individual you'll support
The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same. You'll be part of a small, fun, friendly team who supports an amazing young lady who has a mild learning disability and PTSD. Your main aim will be to provide support with all aspects of daily living, you'll also support her to socialise, maintain relationships and continue to live independently.
You'll play a huge part in helping her to realise her potential, reach her goals, learn new skills and play an active role in her local community and take part in her hobbies and interests. Some of her hobbies and interests include animals (she has her own cat and particularly loves horses), going for walks, knitting, gardening, music, shopping and watching TV & films.
About You
You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferrable skills and will give you all the training you'll need if you're successful. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
All we'll need you to bring: -
A caring and compassionate attitude and approach
Good communication and organisational skills
A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
A creative drive to improve the lives of the individuals you support
Confidence in the use of computers
A love of animals as this young lady has a cat who lives in the household
It would also be great if you have a full driving licence, however this isn't a deal breaker for the right candidate.
Shift Patterns
Our 11 hours per week contract will typically involve working one shift per week. The shift may also include a sleepover. Weekends and public holidays will form part of your rota on a rotational basis.
Sleepovers do not form part of your contracted hours; for every sleepover you work, you will receive an additional payment of £100.80.
