A Different Approach to Care

Are you a natural leader who believes in fostering independence rather than just "doing for" others?

Our Older People Services division is seeking a Senior Social Care Worker to join our unique residential service in Stonehaven. This isn't a traditional care home layout; we support 20 residents who each live in their own purpose-built, self-contained flat.

Operating on a reablement-focused model, we empower our residents to maintain their independence in a 24-hour supported environment. Because we prioritize the right "cultural fit," we invite all prospective staff to visit the service and meet the team before shifts are formally offered.

• Leadership:
  Supporting staff with rota planning, task allocation, and providing management cover.
• Clinical Oversight:
  Overseeing care planning, medication management, and maintaining rigorous quality standards.
• Development:
  Supervising and appraising staff, while supporting their ongoing training and professional growth.
• Wellbeing:
  Promoting a respectful, person-centered environment for residents, including those requiring mental health support and mobility assistance (hoisting).
• Safety:
  Ensuring a safe and secure environment for all residents and staff.

• Qualifications:
  
  SVQ Level 3 in Social Care is essential.
• Compliance: SSSC Registration (or eligibility to register) and current PVG Scheme membership.
• Technical
  
  Skills:
  
  Strong IT literacy for care planning and administrative tasks.
• Ambition: A commitment to professional growth. You must be willing to work toward:
  • SVQ Level 4
  • PDA Supervision & PDA Medication
  • Workplace Assessor Award

Feedback from our current team suggests this service can be slower-paced compared to acute or high-turnover settings. This allows for deeper relationship-building and a focus on quality over speed. We are looking for calm, organized, and patient personalities who thrive in a methodical, person-centered environment.
