**We are looking for experienced care assistants who understand that this is a physically demanding role and good time management skills are essential.**

Care assistants need to have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work with all kinds of people, in situations which can be stressful or emotionally draining. More specifically they should have:

- A friendly approach and the ability to put residents at ease, whatever their physical or social needs
- The ability to be tactful and sensitive at all times

All employees working in care must now be registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) within 6 months of starting employment. You will be asked to register once you have successfully completed your probationary period and this must be kept up to date with an annual fee.

All care staff must be willing to work towards an SVQ2 or equivalent if they do not already have this qualification within 5 years of taking up this care post. Part funding through the SAAS is available for completion of SVQ 2 and SVQ 3 qualifications.

All staff will receive a full induction programme which involves several weeks shadowing experienced staff members and allowing time for you to get to know the residents fully. You will complete Moving and Handling training during this induction. Staff will also be required to complete some online modules as part of their mandatory training.

We are offering an hourly rate of £10.50, a company pension scheme, 5.6 weeks holiday a year and the chance to work with a great team in a family run care home.
