Relief Support Worker in Stirling

Every day, our team provides support and accommodation for adults experiencing mental health issues. We work closely with individuals to plan, shape, and deliver the support they need, which may include participating in activities in the wider community or within the service on either a group or one-to-one basis.

Our support involves practical assistance such as teaching individuals how to manage their laundry and care for their clothing or helping them select a balanced and nutritious diet. While the work can be challenging, being part of our support team means you will make a meaningful difference in their lives.

No direct experience is required for this role. What's important is a positive attitude and a genuine interest in helping others in a practical way. Experience in supporting people in their own homes is advantageous, and while a qualification in Social Care is ideal, it is not essential.

In return, you will have the opportunity to build strong, direct relationships with clients and colleagues, gain valuable experience in a social care environment, and enjoy the flexibility of working a relief role that fits around your other commitments.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ's name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ's name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it. This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is without exception granted by UK Visas and Immigrations. We are required to check the entitlement to work in the UK of all prospective employees, regardless of nationality or job category.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual's unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.
