On the lookout for a brand new part-time job with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else?

You're in luck as we're now on the lookout for new colleagues to join our #TeamNLCS in the Motherwell and Wishaw area!

We have permanent contracts for 16 to 30 hours per week and relief opportunities too if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.

The Role You'll play a HUGE part in making a difference in the lives of young people and adults with disabilities and additional support needs in the

Motherwell

and

Wishaw

communities.

For these particular opportunities, the majority of your time will be spent out in the community supporting the people we support with their hobbies and activities.

No two days are ever the same, you'll find yourself getting involved in activity clubs, swimming, going to the gym, bowling, cinema, and the pub. Some of the individuals are also studying at college, so you will support them to attend their courses too. Due to the person we support enjoying going swimming on a regular basis, you must be confident in and around the water.

Some of the people we support also need some help with daily living tasks too which will involve support to appointments, shopping, meal planning, cooking, housework, finances, medication, and personal care.

About You

We recruit on values and transferable skills, so you don't need previous experience in care as a Support Worker or qualifications to start your career with us. We'll pay you for your training and give you all the skills you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualifications and your yearly SSSC registration fees!

For these opportunities, a driver with a full UK manual driving licence is essential as the people we support have their own mobility cars. All we'll need you to bring is: A caring and compassionate attitude The ability to work well in a team Good communication and organisational skills A positive attitude with a willingness to learn The ability to cook Confidence in the use of computers Shift Patterns

We understand that our colleagues like to have a good work/life balance, so we try to be as flexible as possible with our shift patterns. Our team currently delivers support between the hours of 08:30-21:00 hours, 7 days a week. Weekends and public holidays would form part of your rota on a rotational basis, but we aim to only have you working every second weekend.

Shift length can be anything between 4 and 8 hours, depending on what suits you and the person you will be supporting.
