South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership is recruiting permanent full-time and part-time Home Carers, offering the chance to help older and disabled residents live safely and happily in their own homes.
“It’s the most rewarding job I’ve ever done,” says Home Carer Emma. “Even the smallest thing you do can be the biggest thing in someone’s life. You may work on your own, but you’re never alone. The support network is always there.
“To be successful in this role, you need to be a caring person who is compassionate and sympathetic and shows patience and understanding.”
South Lanarkshire Care at Home Services provide essential support to enable people to live as independently as possible in their own homes, frequently working closely with other health and social care services.
Scott McNeill, Service Manager for the Registered Care at Home Services, said: “Our Care at Home Services are all highly rated by the Care Inspectorate, and a key reason for that is the calibre of our staff.
“For those who join our Care at Home Services we offer variety, career development and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
“We will invest in your development – from recognised qualifications to ongoing mentorship – so you can build a fulfilling career while delivering vital support within our communities.”
Professor Soumen Sengupta, Chief Officer of South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership, added: “I know the profound difference that our home carer teams make every day to the wellbeing and independence of thousands of people across our communities.
“If you are passionate about care and delivering support that you can take pride in, I would strongly encourage you to apply and join our amazing workforce.”
South Lanarkshire Council welcomes applications to join the Care at Home workforce from all backgrounds. Candidates must hold an SVQ Level 2 in Social Care (or equivalent) and be committed to work towards a SVQ Level 3.
