About you
You'll be compassionate, dependable and motivated by helping people achieve greater independence. You'll have strong communication skills, basic IT skills and enjoy working collaboratively as part of a supportive team.
Experience in social care is beneficial but not essential. You will hold, or be willing to achieve, an SVQ Level 2 or Level 3 in Social Care (depending on the role), or an equivalent qualification that meets Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) registration requirements. Experience or a qualification in supporting autistic people would be welcomed but isn't essential.
