Are you ready for a career change that's fulfilling and rewarding? This is your chance to join our Health and Social Care Partnership as a Social Care Officer, in the HART Plus team, who cover all over the Perth and Kinross area. Experience is not necessary as all training will be provided.

Our team provide early intervention and Crisis care to vulnerable service users across Perth and Kinross to allow them to remain living in their own homes for longer. This team specialises in end of life care. If you are passionate about making a positive difference to the lives of the most vulnerable people in your community, read on and find out more. Every day is different and you will end the day knowing you have made a difference to someone's life.

The working pattern for this role is 12 hour shifts with a mixture of 08.00-20.00 and 20.00-08.00

5 Promises we make to you

1. You will work with skilled, passionate and resilient people that inspire you
2. You will be encouraged to develop your strengths, to learn and to flourish
3. You will be supported to belong, feel connected with your team, communities and the organisation
4. You will be supported to focus on people and make a positive difference
5. Every day and night will be different and every day and night you will have support to do the best you can do

Does caring come naturally to you? We have a rewarding opportunity where you can make a positive difference to people’s lives. If you are enthusiastic, friendly and personable, you could be working with a wide range of different people who need support to live independently in their own home.

Working as a Social Care Officer with Perth & Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership is about being part of a community of dedicated individuals who promote independence and wellbeing, making a real impact in the lives of the people we support.

You’ll visit people at home by following a pre-planned schedule, working on a shift pattern that covers breakfast, lunch, tea and bed visits.

You will support people with varying abilities and your responsibilities will depend on the needs of the individuals and can include promoting independence while assisting with daily living tasks such as helping people to get up in the morning and ready for the day ahead. This can include personal care tasks whilst maintaining their dignity.

You may also help with the preparation of meals, household tasks and practical day to day tasks to ensure physical well-being and maintain independence. You will support with administering and monitoring the taking of medication. At the end of the day, help them get ready for bed.

Being a care professional is such a rewarding career and can make a big difference to the lives of those in our community who need that extra bit of support to enable them to live safely within their own home.
