The role

We are currently recruiting for a part-time (16 hour) team member to support a gentleman living independently in his own home in the village of Reiss close to Wick.

As well as support within the home, he enjoys being outdoors and exploring the community on foot, by public transport and in the car.

He participates in a wide range of activities including swimming, cycling, playing darts and pool, gardening and arts and crafts. He is also keen on cooking and baking and listening to music and spending time with his family, which is very important to him.

He is looking for staff who are driven, positive and outgoing with a good sense of humour, who have experience of supporting a person with learning disabilities

Due to the nature of the location and activities, we are seeking someone who is a driver with access to their own vehicle.

To ensure you can support this gentleman with his activities, our shifts are:

9am - 3pm (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday)
9am - 12 noon, 6pm - 9pm (On the last Monday of every month)
