**The Role**

You'll play a HUGE part in making a difference in the lives of young people and adults with disabilities and additional support needs in the **Motherwell** and **Wishaw** communities.

For these particular opportunities, the majority of your time will be spent out in the community supporting the people we support with their hobbies and activities.

No two days are ever the same, you'll find yourself getting involved in activity clubs, swimming, going to the gym, bowling, cinema and the pub. Some of the individuals are also studying at college, so you will support them to attend their courses too. Due to the person we support enjoying going swimming on a regular basis, you must be confident in and around the water.

Some of the people we support also need some help with daily living tasks too which will involve support to appointments, shopping, meal planning, cooking housework, finances, medication and personal care.

**About you**

**We recruit on values and transferrable skills, so you don't need previous experience in care as a Support Worker or qualifications to start your career with us.**We'll pay you for your training and give you all the skills you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualifications and your yearly SSSC registration fees

**For these opportunities, a driver with a full UK manual driving licence is essential as the people we support have their own mobility cars.**

**All we’ll need you to bring is: -**
- A caring and compassionate attitude
- The ability to work well in a team
- Good communication and organisational skills
- A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
- The ability to cook
- Confidence in the use of computers

**Shift Patterns**

We understand that our colleagues like to have a good work/life balance, so we try to be as flexible as possible with our shift patterns. Our team currently deliver support between the hours of 0830-2100 hours, 7 days a week. Weekends and public holidays would form part of your rota on a rotational basis, but we aim to only have you working every second weekend.

Shift length can be anything between 4 and 8 hours, depending on what suits you and the person you will be supporting.

**Do you have any questions?**To find out more, please contact **Ronnie Gillooly** on **0797 602 8346**.

Please note - If if you have spent more than 12 months out with the UK (excluding France, Germany. Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre-employment checks.

If you’re successful in joining our team, you will be expected to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and must be willing to work towards a SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare as required for SSSC registration. We will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.
