Our core principle is value-based communication, customising our support to align with the unique requirements of each individual. Who do we support?
At our Strathbungo service, we support four vibrant females, aged between 30 and 60, and 2 outgoing males. Four individuals have their own flats and two share a flat in the Strathbungo area in Glasgow. They have various health conditions, including epilepsy, deaf-blindness, and mobility issues. Although they live independently, they all stay on the ground floor of a block of flats. You will work on a 1:2:1 basis assisting them with day-to-day living, encouraging them to live happy meaningful lives and achieve their personal goals/ambitions both at home and in the wider community. Your role will be centred around building trusting relationships as a foundation to assist with practical tasks such as: Support within their own homes with personal care, housework, administering medication, meal preparation, support with finances, companionship, etc. Liaise with families and other professionals to provide the best quality care.

They enjoy local walks, shopping sprees, and movie nights at the cinema. Tuesday nights are a highlight at their favourite disco club, where they meet friends and dance the night away. They look forward to their annual holidays and love planning exciting social activities with friends and family, ensuring every day is filled with joy and laughter. What’s the shift pattern?
