We are recruiting for Casual Support Workers for our Supported Accommodation programme in Glasgow.
Supported Accommodation Glasgow provides 24-hour support and accommodation for 26 young people experiencing homelessness in the Glasgow area. We offer a safe environment for the people we support, many of whom have experienced significant trauma throughout their lives.
Shifts are offered on an ad-hoc basis, allowing you to work around other commitments.
Main duties and responsibilities will include:
- Develop positive, respectful and compassionate relationships with all support staff, wider staff teams and those we support, focusing on their strengths and aspirations as individuals.
- Have a high standard of professional integrity with colleagues and other professionals.
- Establish clear professional boundaries with staff and those we support.

Our values make us who we are and define our actions and behaviours every day. We’d expect the post-holder to uphold and represent our organisation in a way that reflects our values and person-centred way of working.
If you have gained experience in a similar role or if you are studying a Social Care qualification and you are keen to gain practical experience we would love to hear from you.

What you can expect from us...
- The hours we offer you will be ad hoc and infrequent.
- You will work for Right There at times and on days to be agreed between you and Right There.
- Your core place of work will be 95 Panmure Street, Glasgow, G20 7SJ You may be required to work from such other place as the organisation may reasonably require from time to time.
- In accordance with the Working Time Regulations, you are entitled to be paid for annual leave. You are entitled to 6 weeks in a full annual leave year. Payment for annual leave is calculated based on 13.04% of your total pay in a pay period and will be paid in addition to wages accrued for that month. This includes if you leave your position at Right There part way through a pay period.
- Legally, Right There must enrol workers into a pension if earnings meet the statutory minimum. This is assessed on a month to month basis.
We are Right There, a charity that recently celebrated our 200th anniversary. We provide tailored support for people, at home, and in the community. We are here for people who are living with the effects of homelessness, poverty, substance use, or family breakdowns.
Last year we supported almost 4,000 individuals, helping to prevent them from becoming homeless or separated from the people they love. Every person’s story is unique, and everyone’s route home is different - it doesn’t matter what the situation is – we’re not here to judge, only to help.
