Job Advert
As part of Burnbrae's restructure, we are looking to recruit to fulfil our goals for the service. Burnbrae is a 28-bedded residential care home supporting older adults who have a range of differing needs such as a mental health diagnosis, Dementia, and/or frailty.
Our service is part of the Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership, where we work closely with other professionals within a multidisciplinary team. Burnbrae is a well-established care home with a highly experienced, motivated, and passionate team of staff. We endeavour to work together to ensure we provide a warm and welcoming environment focused on person-centred care for all who live within Burnbrae, alongside a supportive place of work for our colleagues.
We are located near the centre of Falkirk within beautiful surroundings and with multiple accessible public transport options nearby.
Within our service, there are multiple learning opportunities for staff. We place importance on training, development, and opportunities to progress within a supportive environment.
It is essential that candidates have knowledge and experience of care, particularly with older adults who have a mental health diagnosis. Candidates should possess good communication and interpersonal skills, versatility in their role, an eagerness to learn and develop, an ability to prioritise workload and time management, and be a team player. Experience in assessment, support planning, risk assessing, and case recording is also required.
Moving and Handling training together with an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care is desirable but not essential, as there are opportunities to undertake this qualification within the Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership. Candidates must be able to register with the SSSC as a Practitioner in Care Home Services for older adults and hold or obtain the relevant qualification within the regulatory time scale.
You will work 37 hours per week, which will include backshifts and weekends on a three-weekly shift rota basis.
This post is temporary until December 2025 due to service requirements.
If you are the successful candidate, you will be required to gain/maintain PVG scheme membership.
If you feel you have the relevant skills, knowledge, and attributes for this post and would like to work within our service where you could make a difference to someone's life and lead a fulfilling career, then please apply now.
