Job Description

Being a support worker is a role where you can make every day matter. It's a job with challenges that make your heart beat faster, where you can give something of yourself and empower amazing people on their journey.

We are looking for Support Workers to join our well-established team in Inverness supporting a young man with a variety of support needs to lead his best life in his own home.

I require consistency in approach, and I flourish under guidance and direction from my support team. I would like you to be a good listener with attention to detail, and to be proactive with me. I require help with all aspects of my life including cooking, cleaning, household tasks, shopping, and planning my day to what is realistic to the way I view the world. In return, I promise a very jovial attitude with plenty of "mischief" to be had, a loving demeanour and lots of plans I'd like you to help make happen!"

A variety of support hours available including evenings and sleepovers, with 24hr shifts (inclusive of sleepover) being a possibility if this fits your work-home balance.
