Support Worker - Forfar

Support Worker – Forfar Housing Support Service

Sense Scotland

Looking for a rewarding career in Social Care? Join Sense Scotland and help people live full, happy and independent lives.

We’re recruiting compassionate Support Workers to join our Forfar Housing Support Service, supporting 4 adults in their own homes. Each person has unique strengths and needs, including learning disabilities, complex needs, dual sensory impairments, complex communication needs and diabetes. Support is fully person-centred and delivered in partnership with families and Welfare Guardians.

The Role

No two days are the same. You’ll support one individual at a time with:

• Personal care and medication support
• Manual handling and wheelchair assistance
• Cooking, meal planning and household tasks
• Supporting behaviours that may challenge
• Community activities, holidays and short breaks
• Financial support
• Writing support plans and risk assessments

You’ll be part of a small, experienced team with strong management support, while having the freedom to bring your own ideas and compassion to the role.

Shift Pattern

• Earlies, lates and waking nights
• Rota-based for fairness and consistency
• Lone working or 2:1 support, always person-focused

Who We’re Looking For

Experience isn’t essential — values, enthusiasm and empathy matter most. We’re looking for people who are:

• Kind, patient and compassionate
• Reliable, open and honest
• Positive, organised and proactive
• Willing to learn and grow
• Confident working as part of a team

Full training is provided.

Why Work With Sense Scotland?

• Truly meaningful work with real impact
• Supportive, inclusive team culture
• Ongoing training and development
• Opportunity to build a long-term career
• A role where your personality, ideas and passions are valued

Please note: We do not offer visa sponsorship.

If you want a role where you can make a genuine difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.
