Like any organisation it’s our people that make us who we are. We are truly a family business when it comes to our people; our mantra is to ‘help one another succeed’; we want to see everyone flourish in their roles and reach their full potential and support our customers in developing their own businesses. This desire to help our people succeed is at the very heart of this new role.
What is the role we are looking for?

These will include but not be limited to employment relations processes such as attendance management, probation, grievance, disciplinary, ill health and performance capability.

Service: Health and Social Care Partnership

Closing Date: Friday 8th November 2024

Our Learning Disability Support Services provide essential, innovative person centred support for individuals by helping people with learning disabilities/physical disabilities and complex conditions to access to and continue education and development, live in their own tenancies, paid employment opportunities, life skills development and meaningful activities, achieve their desired outcomes and become more involved in their communities. We also support neurodiverse adults with autism (ASD) and behavioural supports (ADHD), often transitioning from school. Autism is not a learning disability but in our rural areas, there are few supports that adults can be signposted to. Many of the people we support also have autism, so individuals are supported by our registered day location teams.

Our HSCP in house registered support locations are SCSWIS (Care Inspectorate) registered providers.

We have multi-trained teams who often support individuals who are unable to be supported by anyone else due to complex issues. However, we often identify people, who may be able to be signposted to our other community support networks or alternatives. We currently require two 35-hour Support Workers for

ASIST Day Support

You should be a team player, empathetic, passionate about support and have transferrable skills. Experience would be great, but a firm value base to support our people to reach their potential is more important.

Service: Health and Social Care Partnership

Closing Date: Monday 4th November 20024

Our Learning Disability Support Services provide essential, innovative person centred support for individuals by helping people with learning disabilities/physical disabilities and complex conditions to access to and continue education and development, live in their own tenancies, paid employment opportunities, life skills development and meaningful activities, achieve their desired outcomes and become more involved in their communities. We also support neurodiverse adults with autism (ASD) and behavioural supports (ADHD), often transitioning from school. Autism is not a learning disability but in our rural areas, there are few supports that adults can be signposted to. Many of the people we support also have autism, so individuals are supported by our registered day location teams.

Our HSCP in house registered support locations are SCSWIS (Care Inspectorate) registered providers.

We have multi-trained teams who often support individuals who are unable to be supported by anyone else due to complex issues. However, we often identify people, who may be able to be signposted to our other community support networks or alternatives. We currently require two 35-hour Support Workers for

ASIST day support

Tom-A-Mhoid Road

Dunoon

You should be a team player, empathetic, passionate about support and have transferrable skills. Experience would be great, but a firm value base to support our people to reach their potential is more important.
