About the service

Our Coatbridge Housing Support Service offers a vibrant and dynamic work environment, where no two days are the same. We are a passionate team dedicated to providing exceptional, person-centred care to individuals who are primarily deafblind and have diverse, complex support needs, including non-verbal communication.


In this role, you will support individuals on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis, assisting them with their daily lives, encouraging them to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, and helping them achieve their personal goals both at home and in the community. Building trusting relationships will be key to your success, as you provide practical support in areas such as:
Assisting with personal care, household tasks, medication administration, meal preparation, and financial support
Offering companionship and meaningful interactions
Liaising with families and professionals to ensure the highest quality of care
Promoting independence and individuality in line with each individual's Support Plan
Recording daily activities and maintaining accurate records
Collaborating effectively with the staff team, families, and the people we support to ensure clear communication and consistency of care


The individuals we support have complex communication needs and learning disabilities, so candidates with experience in British Sign Language (BSL) or Makaton would be highly valued, though this is not essential. We provide training, and a willingness to learn is key.


A typical day may involve supporting someone with personal care, medication management, communication, and dietary needs. You may accompany them on shopping trips, attend music and art classes, meet friends, and help build their confidence and self-esteem. The people we support enjoy a wide range of activities, including swimming, digital art, recycling, and shopping.
