Do you want to make a positive difference to people’s lives? Come and join Wheatley Care as a Health and Wellbeing Assistant!

We are a values‑led social care organisation focused on delivering support that genuinely improves people’s lives. As a not‑for‑profit provider, with over 40 years’ experience in the social care arena we reinvest our resources where they matter most: the people and communities we serve. Our work is grounded in dignity, respect, and the belief that everyone deserves the chance to live well.

We are recognised for delivering reliable, person‑led support across our communities. Our teams are trusted to provide safe, compassionate care that stands up to scrutiny. We take pride in being a steady, dependable partner within the health and social care landscape across Scotland.

We are entering a significant phase of development as we progress on the transition to becoming and independent organisation and strengthening our care service teams to match our ambition. Our focus is on long‑term sustainability, strong governance and services that remain fit for the future. We combine the ethos of the third sector with the discipline of a modern, well‑run organisation.

Our culture is grounded in respect, accountability, and a shared commitment to doing the right thing. We support our staff to grow, contribute, and lead with confidence. We value professionalism, kindness, and the ability to work with purpose.

About the role

At Fullarton ARBD Service, the focus is on recovery, with support that is flexible, person-centred, and responsive to individual need. Our approach is about working alongside people living with Alcohol-Related Brain Damage to rebuild confidence, strengthen independence, and develop everyday skills that support a meaningful and fulfilling life.

We support adults living with Alcohol-Related Brain Damage to maintain and develop independence, build on existing abilities, and achieve a better quality of life at a pace that suits them. The emphasis is on choice, wellbeing, and supporting each person to work towards their own goals, whether that is establishing routines, increasing confidence, or becoming more involved in community life.

Fullarton is a registered care home, but the service is designed to feel very different from a traditional setting. With 22 self-contained flats, residents live in their own homes while having access to 24-hour support when needed. This support is offered in a flexible way, whether that is reassurance, guidance, practical help, or simply a friendly conversation, always respecting privacy, independence, and personal routine.

Support is built around developing trusting relationships and encouraging people to remain as independent as possible, while knowing help is available when required. The environment promotes stability, dignity, and inclusion, with a strong focus on recovery and day-to-day wellbeing.

Key areas of support include:

• Supporting daily routines and independent living
• Encouraging personal development and confidence building
• Promoting wellbeing, inclusion, and community connection
• Building positive and trusting relationships
• Supporting engagement in meaningful activities

We value a caring, patient, and respectful approach, with an emphasis on maintaining dignity, choice, and independence for every individual we support.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is caring, reliable, and adaptable, with a genuine commitment to supporting others in a way that respects their choices and promotes their independence. You will be confident working in a personalised support environment, able to build positive relationships, and respond flexibly to changing needs.

Previous experience in a care or support role is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided. An understanding of supporting individuals with Alcohol-Related Brain Damage (ARBD) and a commitment to working in a trauma-informed, inclusive, and non-discriminatory way is important. Above all, you will share our values and be motivated to support individuals on their recovery journey to live safe, as independent as possible, and fulfilling lives.

The benefits we offer:

As part of Wheatley Care, we offer a sector-leading benefits package.

The successful candidate will receive:

· a rewarding career with a competitive salary.

· access to a contributory pension scheme.

· excellent leave entitlements.

· enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave.

Committed to inclusion:

Wheatley Care is always looking to improve diversity within our teams. We want to create an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute their best work and achieve their full potential.

We actively celebrate our individual differences and recognise the collective strength this brings the organisation. It’s important our teams represent the communities we serve, and we welcome applications from any under-represented groups.
