Our relief colleagues play an incredibly important role within our teams. As a relief colleague, you will step in to make sure that we still provide excellent care and support during times of annual leave, training or absence. No two days are ever the same, you’ll play a HUGE part in making a difference in the lives of the individuals we support.

You’ll support individuals with disabilities and/or additional support needs with all aspects of their daily living, including medication, housework, finances, preparing food, cooking and personal care. You’ll also support them to reach their goals, participate in their hobbies and activities and play an active part in their local communities.

You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferrable skills and will give you all the paid training you’ll need if you’re successful. We’ll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
