Job Description

A fresh challenge doesn’t always mean starting from scratch – come and tell us your experience.

We all need support, at times, with something.

Disabilities and abilities are not too different – they can be visible, and sometimes, they can be hidden. We enable people to better manage the challenges they face in their lives, by working with them to recognise and build upon their strengths. And often we do this by listening to them, really listening, and working out a plan of support to help.

Glasgow Supported Living services - Gorbals

We are expanding our service, and typically across our supported living services we support a range of older individuals who are as individual as you are; Keith, brilliantly funny, who is coming to terms with a disability in his later years; Gemma, who loves going to the bingo; Craig, who wants to reconnect with his family; Sarah, who wants to redecorate her home (but needs help with a budget). Our support is delivered anytime from a few hours per week to 24-hour support.

Understanding the role

These roles will involve different aspects of supporting people, including;

• Social Support to ensure people have a valued role in their community
• Medication Support to keep people safe with their prescribed medication
• Personal Care to assist people to maintain their wellbeing, including supporting individuals to maintain their personal hygiene and to manage their personal appearance through assisting them with a variety of tasks such as support with bathing and assisting with continence care
• Practical Support to helping people to maintain their tenancy by encouraging daily household tasks such as general housework, laundry, ironing, cooking, shopping.
