Role Overview:

Our Stranraer service is dedicated to supporting individuals with complex needs, including learning disabilities and autism. Working with this demographic can be both challenging and fulfilling. Some individuals may be non-verbal, and due to their unique needs, they may exhibit behaviours that require careful management. To ensure safety, staff are trained in physical intervention techniques, which are used only as a last resort.

Most individuals will require 24-hour support, including overnight care. Shifts are structured at 8 hours each.

As a Complex Needs Practitioner, your responsibilities may include:

  • Social Engagement: Facilitating community involvement by organizing and participating in various leisure activities such as outings to day centres, cinemas, and swimming pools.
  • Personal Care: Supporting individuals in maintaining their personal hygiene and wellbeing, which includes assistance with bathing, dressing, and arranging medical appointments.

Key Benefits:

  • Access to the TRFS rewards scheme, offering cashback and discounts at various retailers.
  • Refer a Friend scheme with a monetary bonus.
  • Recognition as a Gold Investors in People employer.
  • Accredited as a Living Wage employer by the Living Wage Foundation.
  • Participation in the Employee Forum, allowing staff to share feedback and contribute to continuous improvement.

All successful applicants will receive a conditional offer, pending satisfactory references and PVG checks. Having a criminal conviction does not automatically disqualify you from working in this sector.

New employees must register with the SSSC within six months of their start date.

We encourage applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds and are dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace. We welcome candidates regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, disability, age, marital status, parental status, or sexual orientation.
