Bidh thu ag obair gu dealasach mar phàirt de sgioba a bhios ag adhartachadh agus a’ cur taic ri Inbhich le Feumalachdan Taice gus an urrainn dhaibh pàirt a ghabhail ann an goireasan ionadail, agus an in-ghabhaltas, neo-eisimeileachd agus builean dealbhaichte a mheudachadh. Dh’fhaodadh seo a bhith ann am measgachadh de shuidheachaidhean, agus a bhith a’ toirt taic do dhuine tron oidhche ma bhios sin riatanach.

Bu chòir tuigse a bhith agad air còraichean agus dleastanasan dhaoine le feumalachdan taice, agus an comas a bhith ag èisteachd gu h-èifeachdach, a’ conaltradh gu soilleir agus ag obair mar phàirt de sgioba. Bu chòir teisteanas SVQ Ìre III ann an Cùram (no teisteanas co-ionann) a bhith agad. Mur a h-eil seo agad, feumaidh comas a bhith agad an teisteanas seo a ghabhail os làimh agus a choileanadh – 36 mìosan an dèidh clàradh le SSSC.

Tha cleachdadh còmhdach-dìon PPE riatanach san obair seo.

Feumaidh tu ballrachd de Sgeama Dìon Bhuidhnean So-leònta (PVG) mar riatanas laghail a thaobh a bhith an sàs ann an obair riaghlaichte le Inbhich san dreuchd seo (Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme - mygov.scot).

Tha e riatanach gun leugh thu an cunntas-obrach agus an sònrachadh pearsanta ’s gun toir thu iomradh air mar a tha thu a’ coileanadh gach slat-tomhais air a bheilear a’ toirt iomradh anns an t-sònrachadh phearsanta nad aithisg eòlais.

Thèid agallamhan a chumail an làthair gu pearsanta, a’ toirt cothrom dha tagraichean coinneachadh ris an sgioba agus agus beachd fhaighinn air ar àrainneachd obrach.
