Community Living Assistants - Glasgow, East Ren & Renfrewshire

New year, new career? 

If your new year’s resolution was to make the move from a job you are no longer in love with or apply to work in the care sector, then read on…  

Our Community Living service is growing every day; these rewarding job opportunities offer lots of job satisfaction & job security in these worrying times. 

The role – Community Living Assistant 

We support adults with a variety of complex disabilities, who receive 24 hour care, in their own homes and community. You will be assisting our customers with either 1-1 or 2-1 care; your day will include helping them with their personal care, dressing, medication, communication, mealtimes and participating in their chosen activities for that day. 

You will assist with their daily living routines, care needs and facilitating their attendance at college, appointments, recreational activates & social events. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with a skill or passion to share such as baking, music or photography – if you love it, this will shine through to the people you support, giving them a taste of new experiences whilst learning new skills.
