We are currently seeking an individual to become an integral part of a small team, dedicated to helping a young lady access various activities and the broader community. If you have a passion for outdoor adventures and swimming, this is the perfect fit for you. While having a driver's license is a plus, it's not mandatory.

  • Assistance with daily life tasks including personal care, medication and mealtimes.
  • Escort and assist in and around the service, at external events and appointments.
  • Supporting our Person Centred approach, encouraging maximum independence for our customers and helping to achieve individual aspirations.
  • Maintain up to date and accurate records.

To be successful in this role you will:

  • Have good interpersonal skills and ability to communicate effectively.
  • Work flexibly and creatively with customers and their families.
  • Ideally have personal care experience (not essential).
  • Be able to work under pressure and as a team.
  • Flexibility to work within rostered hours / prepared to participate in an on-call rota where required.

We offer a wide range of employee rewards to include:

  • Wagestream, option to withdraw up to 40% of your pay before pay day (click here for more details).
  • Free Blue Light Card.
  • Contributory company pension scheme with competitive life cover benefit.
  • Access to a Cash Health Plan at very favourable rates.
  • Great development opportunities through our apprenticeship schemes and chance to gain recognised qualifications.
  • Unlimited payments through our Refer a Friend bonus scheme.
  • Free PVG check.
  • Employee Assistance Programme and so much more

Because of the personal services provided an occupational requirement applies to this post, under the Equality Act 2010

Leonard Cheshire welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We actively encourage applications from people with a disability, supporting where possible, your requirements for reasonable adjustments.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. A satisfactory disclosure check (PVG membership in Scotland) is required for this post. References will be obtained for all roles.

Shortlisting for this role may take place as applications are received. We therefore reserve the right to close this vacancy once suitable candidates have been appointed.
