About Aberlour Options Borders
Our service works with children and young people affected by complex learning and/or physical disabilities. Our Holiday Activity Club offers children the opportunity to take part in fun activities whilst enabling them to grow and learn. Summer Holiday Activity Clubs take place in Hawick, Earlston, Duns, and Peebles.
What we are looking for....
You will be passionate about meeting the needs of children and young people and will strive to ensure that a programme of fun-filled activities and outings is available. You will understand the need for, and your responsibility to contribute to, a safe and secure environment.
You will have enthusiasm and drive, but also be patient and have a good sense of humour. This type of work can be challenging; ideally, experience is desirable but it is not essential as training will be provided.
The work can be physically demanding and includes moving and handling and providing personal care for the children and young people, ensuring that they are kept comfortable.
To allow us to provide a consistent, quality service, it is desirable that applicants commit to working between 15 and 35 hours per week throughout the 6 weeks of school summer holidays. Payment is made for the accrual of annual leave, and this is explained further in the job pack. There is also the opportunity to be considered for our relief pool for future work in the service.
What we offer...
As well as a supportive team and excellent training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued and rewarded for the vital work they do. When you work with us, we'll recognise your efforts with generous annual leave, an excellent employer pension scheme, and a range of deals and discounts across various retailers. Find out more about our Employee Benefits and our commitment to Equality and Diversity.
