Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
We are currently looking for a part-time (20 hour) Support Worker to join a small team in Fort William, supporting a young man with life-changing injuries to live as independently as possible in his own home.
In this role, you'll support with some personal care and moving and positioning, so previous experience in moving and positioning would be beneficial. The young man we support does his own cooking, medication and finances and is a very private person, so we're looking for friendly individuals who would be interested in sharing his interests.
The shifts we work are 8am - 1pm and 8am - 5pm on alternating days. We also provide some support from 11pm - 1am so availability for bank work on these shifts would be ideal.
