Advertisement Details

Adult Services provides support to adults over the age of 16 years who have assessed needs. The people who use our services (individuals) have additional support needs associated with learning disability or autism and require support to continue to live independently in their own homes, to attend Day Support and meaningful activity or have short break respite. Social Care Workers are responsible for providing direct support to individuals in a variety of settings.

This can include in their own home or supported tenancy, within Care Inspectorate registered services (supported vocational activity or short breaks) and in the community, enabling the individual to achieve their goals, identified priorities and personal outcomes. More detail is provided in the Job Profile, Person Specification and Conditions of Service Summary attached to the bottom of this advert. Please follow the link(s) below for further information.
