SENSE SCOTLAND - MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY!

Our friendly team at Sense Scotland Coatbridge are looking for like minded support workers to join them offering 37 hours, 30 hours and relief hours across their services. Please note; this is a driver essential role and only those who hold a full UK driving licence and in a position to drive a work vehicle will be considered.

Our Coatbridge Housing Support Service offers a vibrant and dynamic work environment, where no two days are the same. We are a passionate team dedicated to providing exceptional, person-centred care to individuals who are primarily deafblind and have diverse, complex support needs, including non-verbal communication.

Building trusting relationships will be key to your success, as you provide practical support in areas such as:

• Assisting with personal care, household tasks, medication administration, meal preparation, and financial support
• Offering companionship and meaningful interactions
• Liaising with families and professionals to ensure the highest quality of care
• Promoting independence and individuality in line with each individual's Support Plan
• Recording daily activities and maintaining accurate records
• Collaborating effectively with the staff team, families, and the people we support to ensure clear communication and consistency of care

How your day will look

A typical day may involve supporting someone with personal care, medication management, communication, and dietary needs. You may accompany them on shopping trips, attend music and art classes, meet friends, and help build their confidence and self-esteem. The people we support enjoy a wide range of activities, including swimming, digital art, recycling, and shopping.

Working Pattern

Our Coatbridge Service operates 24/7, with a variety of shifts, including early shifts (07:30–14:45), late shifts (14:45–22:00), as well as occasional long day shifts (07.30–22:00). There is a designated nightshift team but you may be asked to cover some sleepover duties to ensure round-the-clock support.

Join us in making a real difference and embark on a fulfilling journey at Sense Scotland.
