Role
Are you an experienced worker in health or social care and are looking for an exciting and challenging personal development opportunity?
Do you believe that people with disabilities should have the same opportunities in life as everyone else and are you passionate about making a positive difference in people’s lives?
If your answer to these questions is “Yes”, then you may be the very person we are looking for!
Key is committed to providing high quality, flexible support services to people who have a variety of support needs and disabilities, some of whom may have complex health needs. We focus on positive outcomes for the individuals we support.
Due to the ongoing growth and development of our existing services in South and East Ayrshire, we are seeking a highly motivated, imaginative, and enthusiastic individual with a true commitment to join our established local management team, initially based in Ayr.
In addition to providing direct support to individuals, the main responsibilities of the Team Manager role include helping to plan, co-ordinate, and monitor services provided to a number of people. This role also involves supporting, supervising, and managing the workers who are providing support to these individuals.
The successful candidate will be able to work creatively and flexibly to provide positive leadership and support to their teams, enabling them to deliver high-quality person-centred support.
Evening, weekend work, and overnight support responsibilities are required, as well as support to workers outside of ‘office working hours’.
Our staff are our most important asset; as such, we offer extensive training and development opportunities, including support to obtain relevant SSSC recognised qualifications.
For further information on the role, please contact Vicky McNamara, Support & Development Manager at 07774556677 or at vicky.mcnamara@key.org.uk.
For an application form, job description, and a copy of our equal opportunities policy, please email: jobs@key.org.uk or telephone: 0141 342 1892 (24-hour answering service).
Being a support worker is a role where you can make every day matter. It's a job with challenges that make your heart beat faster, where you can give something of yourself and empower amazing people on their journey through life.
At Key, we support disabled people of all ages to make every day matter.
We are passionate about being the very best employer we can be, ensuring our staff feel well supported and valued in their roles. As well as being part of a supportive, local team, you will be eligible for:
* Main Grade Hourly Rate £12.50 (Induction and Relief Register Hourly Rate £12)

* Competitive annual leave and company sick pay.

Join us and make every day matter! Support Workers and Relief Support Workers.
No experience necessary! Training and support will be given to help you achieve your full potential.
If you would like to get involved in support work but cannot commit to a contract due to other commitments, we also have opportunities for you to complement our existing workers by joining our relief register of bank support workers. This will mean you can work in a way that best suits you and fits with your life.
