**About us**

Beannachar Camphill Community is Located on a beautiful estate only two miles from Aberdeen city, it provides a therapeutic and supportive space that transforms the lives of young adults with additional support and complex needs.

**Bank/Relief Support Workers**

Bank/Relief Support Workers work directly with people with special needs; providing personal care and developmental support, as needed, by each individual student both in the houses and sometimes in the workshops. A shift pattern is worked.

Beannachar is a Camphill Community offering a therapeutic and supportive environment for young adults with learning support needs. We are part of the worldwide Camphill Movement that has over 80 years' experience creating communities offering education, care and therapy to children and young people with additional support needs. We are one of six vibrant Camphill communities in and around Aberdeen, offering unique living and working opportunities for a fulfilling life.

Beannachar has a distinctive staffing structure that promotes an inclusive ‘life sharing’ approach to supporting our students with additional support needs. There is an option for onsite accommodation for employed staff which is available from time to time. In addition, around 20 international volunteers join the community for up to a year life sharing alongside students in our residential houses.

**Why Beannachar?**

There is a strong sense of ‘community’ for everyone associated with Beannachar - students, staff and volunteers - that makes it so special. We value building close, dependable and reliable relationships and opportunity to provide purpose through a variety of work and creative activities on our beautiful estate located just 2 miles outside Aberdeen City.
