Due to a new service in Brechin, we are looking for Part-time Support Workers!
Support workers are at the heart of the service Ark provides. Our supported people love taking part in group activities and are involved in speak out groups and voices groups. They enjoy planning events and thinking of new ideas to raise money for charities, which they have been very successful with in the past. They like to be involved when recruiting new staff and are always invited during this process. We have fantastic staff teams who provide caring, person-centred care to all supported people. Supported individuals express a desire for staff who are reliable, caring, and dedicated to enable them to live as independently as possible and lead happy lives.
Brechin is part of the Forfar service; please note that some hours may be undertaken in Forfar.
Full UK Driver's license is preferred for these positions.
