Community Living Assistant

Are you looking to support adults with a variety of complex disabilities in their own homes and local communities? Our visits are a minimum of 4 hours, meaning you can really get to know the individuals in your care and can make a positive difference to their lives.

At Capability Scotland, our North Lanarkshire care at home & supported Living Services provide 24-hour care to adults in their own homes and community. You will assist with their daily living routines, enabling them to live independently by supporting with domestic tasks and money/utility bill management. You will attend to their care needs such as personal care, dressing, medication, communication, and mealtimes support.

With a customer-led focus, they will determine what your shift looks like, sometimes facilitating their attendance at college, appointments, lunch visits with friends, or recreational activities and social events. Depending on who you are matched to support, you could be assisting them to enjoy regular attendance at football matches, day centres, shopping, sporting or cinema trips.
