Children’s Support Workers – Join Our Team!
We are seeking experienced social care professionals to join our residential and respite services in Lanark. If you are passionate about supporting children with complex disabilities and want to make a real difference in their lives, we would love to hear from you.
The role – Support Worker (Children & Young People)
Stanmore House Residential acts as both a boarding element to Stanmore House School and a residential and respite service for the children of Scotland. The young people we support are aged between 5 & 20 with a variety of complex disabilities. You would support them to live independently in our bright, fully adapted campus based in the outskirts of Lanark.
Our 4 bungalows can host up to 16 young people in total. You will be supporting our customers on either one-to-one or group care; your day will include helping them with their personal care, dressing, medication, mobility, mealtimes, attending school & appointments and participating in their chosen recreational activities for that day.
We benefit from a great rural setting of lush, green countryside with extensive gardens on campus. We have a fantastic indoor pool for a splash about or some hydrotherapy, a rebound therapy room, sensory experiences and stories, an on-site cinema and beauty salon, and we love getting involved in our local community at Lanark, too.
