Empowering Lives. Building Independence. Creating Possibility.

At Capability Scotland, our mission is simple — to put disabled people at the heart of everything we do. We provide exceptional, person-centred support that helps people live life on their own terms, achieve their ambitions, and make their voices heard.

We're proud of what we do, and right now, we're looking for dedicated Support Workers to join our teams at Tayview and Annaty, our residential services in Perth. Each of the people we support has their own private apartment, and our Support Workers play a vital role in helping them live fulfilling, independent lives — every single day.

The Role

As a Support Worker, you'll provide hands-on, compassionate support to adults with complex physical and learning disabilities, helping them thrive both at home and in the community.

You'll work in bright, purpose-built surroundings with access to beautiful gardens, a hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy suite, and an accessible gym — all designed to enrich the lives of those we support. And with exciting new facilities on the horizon, you'll have the chance to grow and help shape the future of our service.

Every day is different. You could be:

• Supporting personal care, medication, or mealtimes with dignity and respect.
• Helping people enjoy meaningful activities — from arts and crafts to cinema trips, football, or shopping.
• Working one-to-one or in group settings, always ensuring each person feels valued and included.
• Keeping records and care plans up to date, noticing and reporting changes with care and professionalism.

Job Description: Support Worker (Res Resp)

Hours: Up to 37 hours per week - (full-time, part-time, and relief).

Here's what we offer:

• £12.60/hour (£24,307 per year) – plus £13.23/hour for nightshifts
• 32 days' annual leave, rising to 37 with service
