Hours: 37.5 hours per week waking nights

About the role

 
As a Support Worker at Brandon Trust, you’ll be part of something meaningful—supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live life in the way that suits them best. Whether it’s helping someone pursue a new hobby, build routines, plan a trip, attend their work, maintain their house or simply enjoy their day, you’ll be working alongside them to make it happen. 

You’ll support with day-to-day activities like shopping, cooking, and managing health needs—always led by the person’s own preferences and goals.

You’ll also support with personal care. This means helping people with washing, dressing, and other essential personal routines. It’s a vital part of enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence. Personal care is always delivered in a respectful and person-centred way, in line with each individual's needs and preferences.

No two days are the same, and every day brings the opportunity to be part of someone’s progress and independence.

Why this role matters

 
You’ll be joining people on their own journeys—whether that’s growing in confidence, building friendships, or trying something new. You’ll see the real impact of your support and share in the everyday moments that matter most. 

This is work with purpose. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values respect, individuality, and connection.

What we’re looking for

• A kind and thoughtful approach rooted in empathy and respect
• A genuine interest in other people’s lives, routines, and goals
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
• A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
• A commitment to inclusion and celebrating what makes each person unique

No experience? That’s okay.

 
Your values and behaviours matter more than your background. If you're someone who listens well, treats others with respect, and genuinely wants to support people to live their lives, we’ll provide everything you need to succeed. With full training, ongoing support, and development opportunities, you’ll be supported every step of the way. 

About us
Brandon Trust is a charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to live life to the full. We work alongside people to help them make choices, be heard, and thrive in their communities. 

We’re committed to building a diverse team and an inclusive workplace. If you need any adjustments during the application or interview process, just let us know—we’re here to support you too.

Self-Management Facilitator - Scottish Borders

Every day people with chest, heart and stroke conditions are leaving hospital scared and alone. You can be part of our mission to make sure that there is no life half lived in Scotland.

By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as a Self-Management Training Facilitator, you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living.

You will be part of Scotland’s leading charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live life to the full again. Our Community Healthcare Support Services form a nationwide network of local services, including our Supported Self Management programme, community support groups, nurses, volunteers and one-to-one support teams helping families adjust to life with a heart or lung condition or after a stroke.

You will lead and motivate participants within a group setting to take control of their lives in a positive way, raising their confidence and empowering them to develop the skills to set and achieve goals, make strong and supportive connections with their workshop peers and make meaningful changes to their lifestyle to support their ongoing self management journey.

Candidates don’t need to have medical knowledge, or previous experience as a Chronic Disease Supported Self Management Facilitator, as full training is provided. We are looking for someone with a positive attitude towards people with disabilities and long-term conditions and an understanding of the challenges faced by people with chest, heart and stroke conditions and Long Covid. You should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to engage with others confidently and deliver key information, clearly.

At Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, our mission is to ensure there’s No Life Half Lived in Scotland - and you can be a vital part of that. We are Scotland’s leading organisation for person-centred, user-led community support for people with our health conditions.

Applicants must have a car and a current valid driving licence (expenses are paid at mileage rate).

CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”.

In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a PVG check. CHSS is committed to equality of opportunity and to providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination.
