We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can’t teach you, is the stuff that comes from within:
That buzz you get when you celebrate someone’s wins – big or small. That natural sense of wanting to make someone’s day brighter. That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step. In essence, that’s what we are looking for from you.

• Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
• Adjust your approach to meet people’s needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
• Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.

• Working together
• Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with
• Communicating openly and building trust.
• Helping each other to provide the best support possible.
• Giving our best
• Being dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives. Whether the day was easy or tough, taking responsibility for your actions and focusing on what matters most to those who you support.
• Having courage
• Being open to new ideas and approaches.
• Using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others.
• Providing the most effective and adaptable support possible.

• Buy and sell annual leave – transfer windows open twice a year.
• Stream – an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
• Simply Health – Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians, and access to many more health benefits.
• Blue light card – we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants.
• Pension and Life Assurance – you’ll be enrolled into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme.
