Looking for a brand new rewarding job? You're in luck! Our amazing teams in Stonehaven are looking for new colleagues to join them on a permanent part‑time or full‑time basis. We also have relief opportunities too if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.

You’ll become part of one of our friendly, welcoming teams who supports individuals with physical and learning disabilities in their own shared home. There’s never a dull moment and no two days are ever the same. You’ll support the individuals with all aspects of daily living, including meal preparation, personal care, finances, household chores and playing an active part in their local community. We’ll also need you to be supportive and creative to support with their hobbies and interests which include arts.

We’ll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills you’ll need. We’ll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!

All we’ll need you to bring is:

• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Great communication and organisational skills
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
• A creative drive to improve the lives of the individuals you support
• Confidence in the use of computers

As we’re dedicated to providing the best support possible, shift patterns will usually fall into early shifts and backshifts. Sleepovers, public holidays and weekends would be a requirement on a rotational basis. Sleepovers are not included in your contracted hours and you’ll receive an additional sleepover payment of £107.60 per sleepover shift worked. If you don’t live in the Stonehaven area and are not a driver, we will need you to be mindful of the location of our services and be confident that you can travel for your shifts as there are limited public transport links available that fit with all of our shift patterns.

Along with hosting our annual Star Awards to celebrate and recognise the impact and dedication of our colleagues and the achievements of the people we support, there are some other great perks that you’ll receive when you join our team:

• You’ll have a meaningful job doing things that you enjoy – it often doesn’t feel like work
