We are a charitable organisation based in the Scottish Borders.

We provide care and support to adults to lead great lives. Most of the people we currently support have learning disabilities or mental health problems. Our team help people to live an independent and fulfilling life in the local community.

We are growing and currently require additional Support Workers in our Central Service (Galashiels, Selkirk, Jedburgh) and while some experience would be an advantage, we are equally keen to support people to develop the skills required. All training will be provided. Willingness to undertake an SVQ level II qualification is necessary and if you have a strong value base, enthusiasm, commitment, a good sense of humour plus the ability to work with people with a disability in a positive, honest manner then we would like to hear from you.

- Support with personal care and mobility issue, whilst promoting self-esteem, independence, dignity and respect.
- Support people to participate in their hobbies and interests and to be active in the community.

Full-time or part-time posts are available. Applicants should be flexible in their approach to hours of work, as staff may be required to work a range of shifts including regular weekends, sleepovers and waken nightshifts. Some of the people you will be supporting have their own cars, therefore, to enable them to enjoy the wider community a valid driving licence, although not essential, would be an advantage
