Based in the Northfield area of Aberdeen City, we are looking for a special *Female Support Worker to support 2 wonderful people in their own homes. Both people are deaf and have learning disabilities and your role will be to support them to live life to the fullest.

He has a great sense of humour, enjoys banter with his team, and likes to be included in all aspects of his support. He is very independent, and we encourage staff to help him maintain that independence.
Shift pattern:
>24 hour shifts (10am - 10am) including a sleepover
>5 hour mid-shift for activities

What you will need to succeed:

>Ability to communicate effectively and use your own initiative
>Strong work ethic and organised to support routines
>Able to prioritise and manage workloads
