Looking for a new job for 2025 with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else?

Look no further as our fabulous #TeamWaterfront in Garelochhead are on the lookout for caring, compassionate, and creative people to join them on a full-time, part-time, and relief basis.

We are looking for confident, outgoing, friendly colleagues to join our team with full-time, part-time, or relief opportunities available. The Role & Service

Our picturesque Waterfront service is a specialist housing complex for individuals with autism and other complex support needs. Our service comprises five self-contained flats and other shared accommodation and is home to 9 people.

You'll become part of a warm, friendly team who supports the individuals with all aspects of their daily living, including household tasks, cooking, finances, medication, and personal care. Our team actively promotes and encourages the individuals to be as independent as possible and live the life that they choose.

There’s never a dull moment at Waterfront; the people we support also love to get out in their local community, enjoying a range of activities, including attending college, swimming, boccia, going for walks, and playing football. With such varying interests, no two days are ever the same. Some of the individuals also like some 1:1 time, which can involve going out for lunch, accessing their sensory room, listening and singing along to music, and going to discos and parties.

Some of the people we support have their own mobility cars, so if you have a full UK driver's license with a year's experience, that would be great but not essential for this role. About You

We recruit on values and transferable skills, so you don't need experience in care as a Support Worker or qualifications to start your career with us.

We'll pay you for your training and will even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees!

What we'll need you to bring: Good communication skills A caring attitude and approach The ability to work as part of a team A positive approach to learning Confidence in the use of computers Shift Patterns

Our team is dedicated to providing around-the-clock support that is tailored to the needs of each individual, so shift patterns for this service usually fall between the hours of 08:00 – 22:00 and vary between 4 and 9 hours a day, so we will need you to be flexible. Weekends and public holidays would also form part of your rota on a rotational basis. There is also the possibility for Waking Night shifts.

Have any questions?

If you'd like to find out more, please contact

Eleanor Burling-Brown on 07385116690 .

If you’re successful in joining our team, you will be expected to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and must be willing to work towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare as required for SSSC registration. We will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us. Successful candidates will be invited forward for an interview on the 31st October. Please note

- If you have spent more than 12 months out of the UK (excluding France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre-employment checks. We are looking to fill this vacancy as soon as possible and withhold the right to close this advert early if we find a suitable candidate before our closing date. Please apply early to avoid any disappointment.
