Hawick, United Kingdom Streets Ahead (Borders) Full time

Streets Ahead (Borders) is 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.

Due to exciting service developments, the service is expanding and we require additional Support Workers in our West (Hawick) Service 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 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.

**About the role**:
You will:

- Provide support to people to live safely and as independently as possible in their own home and in the community.
- Support people to achieve personal growth and meet their full potential.
- Provide guidance and practical help in all aspects of day-to-day living, e.g. assisting with budgeting, cooking and cleaning
- 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, Part-time and Relief 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. A valid driving licence would be desirable although not essential.

Any offer of employment will be conditional on a satisfactory Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) check and two satisfactory references.
