About the service

At our Forfar Housing Support Service, no two days are the same. We proudly support 4 adults—each with their own unique personalities, strengths and needs—across their own tenancies.

Our service is specially designed for adults with learning disabilities and complex needs, including dual sensory impairments, complex communication needs and diabetes. We work closely with families and Welfare Guardians to ensure every person receives the highest quality support, tailored entirely to them.

Role includes

  • Delivering a varied range of personal care
  • Supporting people through behaviours that may challenge you
  • Manual handling and Wheelchair pushing
  • Administering and supporting with medication
  • Cooking/Meal Preparation and Menu planning
  • Support with household tasks including cleaning and shopping
  • Provide support with finances
  • Support to go on holidays or short breaks
  • Writing and maintaining support plans and risk assessments

Shift pattern

Shift pattern includes a variety of earlies, lates, and waking night shifts, offering a flexible working structure. Team members work either alone or in a 2:1 arrangement, but always support just one individual to ensure person centred care. Shifts are assigned through a rota system, to maintain consistency and fairness across the team.

We're looking for people who bring

  • Great teamwork and a positive, can do attitude
  • Strong communication skills and confidence using your initiative
  • Good organisation to support daily routines
  • Ability to prioritise and manage tasks effectively
  • Willingness to learn and grow
  • Real compassion and joy in caring for others
  • Patience, understanding and empathy

Please note and consider before applying;

  • We do NOT currently offer visa sponsorship for our vacancies and would therefore ask that you do not apply if you require sponsorship.
  • Successful applicants will be invited to attend an in person interview week commencing 3 August 2026.
