🌟 Join Our Team as a Support Worker!

🏡 Kirkcudbright

Do you love swimming 🏊‍♀️, ice skating ⛸️, trampolining 🤸, or getting stuck into outdoor adventures 🌲?

Maybe you’re more into movie nights 🎬, bowling 🎳, holidays ✈️, or relaxing in the garden 🌼.

If that sounds like your kind of day, the people we support at School Close would be excited to meet you!

💛 About Our Homes

At School Close, 12 individuals with learning disabilities and autism live in their own self-contained flats — and we’re here to support them to live life their way. This is supported living at its best: empowering, person-led, and full of meaningful moments.

We’re currently looking for full-time Support Workers, with a focus on supporting two energetic, fun-loving ladies with autism and complex needs. They adore staying active, getting outdoors, and trying new things — and they’d love someone who can share in their enthusiasm.

At this time, we are recruiting for 1 permanent role and 1 temporary role.  The temporary role is for an initial period of 6 months but may be extended or made permanent at a later date.  Both roles are for 37.5 hours per week.

 

🌈 What You’ll Be Doing

Every day is different, but you might find yourself:

• Helping the people supported to plan their day and make their own choices 🗓️
• Going swimming, ice skating, or bouncing on a trampoline 🏊‍♀️⛸️🤸
• Enjoying a film night, a meal out, or a garden chat 🎬🍽️🌿
• Supporting with medication or personal care when needed 💊
• Encouraging independence and celebrating achievements 🎉

We believe in “doing with” not “doing for” — supporting people to flourish and live their best lives.

🕒 When You’ll Work

Our service runs 24/7, so we’re looking for people who can be flexible.
Shifts typically run between 8am and 10pm, lasting 8–12.5 hours, with some weekends and waking nights available.

✨ Why You’ll Love It

Because you’ll be making a real difference — not in a distant, abstract way, but in the everyday moments that matter. A shared laugh. A new skill learned. A day out that becomes someone’s favourite memory.

If you’re compassionate, energetic, and ready to help people live life to the fullest, we’d love to welcome you to the team.
