Make a Difference Every Day

Do you enjoy helping people live independently and achieve their goals?

At Capability Scotland, we're passionate about providing person-centred support that gives people the opportunity to live the life they choose. Our community visits are typically four hours or longer, allowing you the time to build meaningful relationships and deliver high-quality support.

We're looking for compassionate and reliable Community Living Assistants (Support Workers) to join our Housing Support and Care at Home team across Renfrewshire and Glasgow.

We are not a domiciliary short visit, home care provider - you are matched with individuals for longer visit times meaning you'll have time to build meaningful relationships and make a real difference.

What You'll Do

You’ll support adults with disabilities to live independently in their own homes and communities by:

• Providing personal care with dignity and respect
• Supporting medication routines
• Assisting with meal preparation and daily living tasks
• Helping people maintain their homes and tenancies
• Supporting communication and independence
• Accompanying people to appointments, education, shopping and social activities
• Encouraging hobbies, interests and community participation
• Providing one-to-one or two-to-one support based on individual needs

Every day is different, but your focus will always be promoting independence, choice, dignity and inclusion.

What We're Looking For

You’ll be someone who:

• Is caring, compassionate and committed to person-centred support
• Has experience supporting adults in care, support or community settings
• Is flexible and able to work rotating shifts, including evenings, weekends and nights
• Holds a full UK manual driving licence.
• Has access to their own manual vehicle (essential for this community-based role)

Mileage expenses are paid for all work-related travel.
