We are currently recruiting a small team of support staff to support a man “John” to live in his own flat in Kirkintilloch. John has a physical disability and uses a wheelchair. He receives support 24 hours a day and this includes staff sleeping over in his home. Successful candidates will have a positive attitude and commitment towards making a difference to the lives of the people we support.

We support John on a daily basis with all aspects of his life including Moving and Assisting and personal care as well as developing and maintaining full and active participation in the community. A commitment to a person-centred approach is essential and experience of working with people with disabilities is desirable.

John has a mobility car, so a driving licence is desirable but not essential. The position will require one or two sleepover shifts per week.

Key provides excellent professional supervision, support and training, including access to the SVQ Framework and a chance to really make a difference to people’s lives.

If you are caring, reliable, flexible and passionate about getting alongside people providing support to achieve the life they want then... you could be who we are looking for!

· Competitive annual leave and company sick pay
