About Our Service
Capability Scotland is a well-established and respected provider of community-based facilitation services throughout Dumfries and Galloway. We take pride in our creativity, flexibility, and commitment to thinking outside the box to provide the very best support for the people we work with.
Our service empowers individuals to engage in employment, education, volunteering, and activities that matter to them within their local communities. To achieve this, Capability Scotland offers:
- A wrap-around rehabilitation service for people with an acquired brain injury
- A community facilitation service for people with physical disabilities
- Self-directed support brokerage and payroll services
About the Role
We’re currently looking for a Relief Rehabilitation Assistant to join our friendly and dedicated Acquired Brain Injury Service team in Dumfries.
In this role, you’ll take a person-centred approach to supporting people with an acquired brain injury, helping them to work toward their personal goals and maintain independence. Every day is different — you might be providing one-to-one support, helping someone participate in a community activity, or offering gentle encouragement as they rebuild skills and confidence.
The role includes some physical activity, such as providing support with mobility and pushing wheelchairs. The position is offered on a relief basis, and cover may be required between Monday and Thursday, 10am–4pm on an ad hoc basis. While our base is in Dumfries, a flexible approach to service delivery is essential, as some work may take place in different community settings.
For an informal chat about the role, please contact Nicola Ross, Team Leader, on 07815 654562. Ref CS1410261
