About you

You will bring patience, empathy and a genuine commitment to supporting older people. You will understand the importance of building positive relationships and delivering person-centred care that promotes dignity and independence.

You will be willing to work towards an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care if you do not already hold this qualification. You must be a member of the PVG Scheme and registered with the SSSC, or willing to join and register.

You must also have the right to work in the United Kingdom and meet all statutory registration and vetting requirements, including being a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme, registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), and having the UK work‑permit status. You should respect the Christian Ethos under which the organisation operates.

What you will gain

  • Flexible working to support work‑life balance
  • Full induction and training
