At our service in Ellon, we support individuals with a wide range of needs to live as independently as possible in their own flats.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to support people with bowls, boccia, gardening, going to the movies, swimming, cooking, baking and anything else they enjoy. The people we support have a private garden and love to spend time there socialising and growing vegetables. Our staff team are very supportive and experienced and also provide some support with: • Medication administration • Cooking and home maintenance • Social support and support to achieve personal goals • Managing the finances of the people we support The people we support like to be supported by people who respect them and their homes, but who also like to have fun! We like people who are reliable and honest and are able to remain calm under pressure, so they can support people effectively and build fantastic relationships.
Our team provide support 7 days a week, so we ask for flexibility to work a variety of shifts from Monday-Sunday and this will include some sleepover shifts. Our shift patterns can vary, but some examples of typical shifts are 8am - 3pm, 3pm - 9am the next day (with sleepover), 2.45pm - 3pm the next day (with sleepover).
