Looking for a job that actually makes a difference? This could be it!

Our amazing Ronaldsay team in the Milton area of Glasgow are looking for a new colleague to join them on a permanent part-time (25 hours per week) basis. We also have relief opportunities too if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.

No previous experience? That's ok! If you’re caring, positive and willing to learn, we’ll give you everything you need:

• Paid training from day one
• Funded SVQ qualifications (SCQF Level 6/7)
• PVG and SSSC fees covered

Meet your future team

You'll become part of a friendly, warm, supportive team, providing support to three gentleman with complex support needs in own homes.

This is so much more than a job, it's about building meaningful relationships, celebrating achievements (big & small), supporting independence and creating memorable experiences.

Whether you're supporting one of the gentlemen to maintain their home, achieve a personal goal, enjoy a favourite activity (e.g. going to the pub, playing snooker and attending clubs and gigs), try something new or simply feel heard and understood, you'll play an important part in helping them live the life that they want to live.

Why you'll love this job

• Make a real difference in people's lives every day
• Build genuine, meaningful relationships
• Be part of a supportive and welcoming team
• Bring your own personality to work and be yourself
• Access to opportunities for development and qualifications

We're looking for people who are

• Caring, patient and compassionate
• Positive, reliable and keen to learn
• Good communicators who enjoy working as part of a team
• Happy to lone work and take initiative
• Organised and confident using basic computer systems

The gentlemen also have their own mobility cars, so if you're a driver with at least a years' experience on the road that would be preferred, but it's not a deal breaker for the right candidates.

Shift patterns

Your hours will include early mornings, days and evenings. Sleepovers, public holidays and weekends would also form part of your work schedule on a rotational basis.

Sleepover hours aren't included in your contracted hours, so you will be paid £107.60 for each sleepover worked.
