Support Worker

If you’re looking for an exciting role where no two days are the same, then look no further!

We are recruiting experienced, confident and resilient Support Workers to support a 30-year old man who lives in his own home in Broxburn.

This gentleman has autism, a learning disability and epilepsy, which can be unpredictable, so he’s looking for calm people who can provide reassurance during challenging periods.  He can become fixated on things, so confidence in redirection and maintaining strong boundaries would be of great benefit to him.  

He uses a wheelchair to get around and is able to move this himself, but would love to spend more time getting out and about and enjoying what his community has to offer.  This gentleman is really interested in trains, buses, ice-cream vans and bin lorries and would enjoy sharing his interests with his staff.  He also enjoys listening to music, feeding birds and recycling.

Due to an unsettled period, we are currently providing 2:1 support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addition to supporting with hobbies, his staff will be required to support with medication administration, personal care, shopping, cooking and everyday support tasks.  

It is our goal to promote his independence as much as possible, so you will ensure you promote choice by using social stories to help him understand situations.  Previous experience of using communication aids would be very beneficial.  PBS experience would also be a great benefit.

At present, we are recruiting for full-time and part-time staff to work a variety of shifts from Monday to Sunday.

The shift patterns we have are as follows:

• 7.30am - 3pm
• 7.30am - 10pm
• 3pm - 10pm
• 9.45pm - 7.30am (waking night)

We are passionate about our people and every year we invest heavily in our front-line worker pay, in line with the Living Wage increase each April. This means that from 1st April 2026, our payrate for this role will be increasing to £13.86 per hour
