Live your best life — and help someone live theirs.

Our Glasgow Mental Health & Huntington’s Service provides person-centred support to adults living with complex and enduring mental health conditions or Huntington’s disease. We work alongside each person to build confidence, safety, and independence — helping them feel a true sense of belonging and connection in their community.

You’ll join a team that’s trauma-informed, creative, and deeply compassionate, working closely with families, friends, and other professionals to design support that’s truly tailored to each individual’s needs and wishes.

What the Role Involves

• Building trusting relationships: taking time to get to know each person, listening to their needs and worries, and offering reassurance and emotional support.
• Promoting independence: helping with daily living skills such as keeping safe, making choices, looking after physical and emotional wellbeing, and encouraging confidence to try new things.
• Creating meaningful days: supporting people to enjoy activities they love — from hobbies and social events to spending time outdoors or learning new skills.
• Connecting with the community: helping individuals build relationships, access local resources, and feel included and valued where they live.
• Working as part of a team: sharing insights with colleagues, families, and other professionals to ensure the best possible support for each person.

We tailor support to each person’s needs and wishes — from a few hours a week to help available every day. We also understand life outside of work matters, so you’ll have your rota in advance with a clear two-week pattern: one weekend on, one off, making it easier to balance work and home.
