Are you a resilient, experienced Support Worker who prides themselves on maintaining professional boundaries and delivering high-quality care? We are looking for dedicated individuals to join a specialized housing support service in Fintry, Dundee.

This is not just a "sitting" shift. We are looking for proactive professionals who understand that even during downtime, safety checks, care plan reviews, and security protocols are a priority.

The Service
You will be supporting up to five service users living in separate flats within a single block. Your day will typically involve supporting 2-3 individuals, helping them maintain their independence while managing complex needs associated with Learning Disabilities and Autism.

Key Responsibilities
*Behavioral Management: Using de-escalation techniques to manage challenging behaviors and setting clear, professional boundaries.
*Community Integration: Escorting service users to activities and providing companionship.
*Daily Living: Meal preparation, medication prompting/administration, and updating detailed care notes.
*Personal Care: Prompting only; no direct personal care or moving & handling is required for this service.

Requirements (Strict Criteria)
To be considered for this role, you must meet the following:
*Experience: Minimum of 2+ years supporting adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism, and Challenging Behavior.
*Resilience: Ability to remain professional in the face of verbal aggression. You must be comfortable setting boundaries with service users who may target personal attributes (race, weight, etc.).
*Registration: Must be currently registered and visible on the SSSC portal.
*Commitment: You must be able to work a minimum of 37 hours per week plus approximately one sleepover per week.
*Flexibility: Full availability is required for a variety of shifts. We cannot accept applicants with restricted hours or specific "no-go" days.
*Work Ethic: A proactive approach is essential. We are looking for "phone-away" staff who utilize downtime to conduct safety checks and stay updated on care plans.

What’s on Offer?
*Competitive Pay: £15.00 - £16.00 per hour depending on experience.
*Stable Hours: Guaranteed 37-hour contracts in a consistent location.
*Supportive Environment: A dedicated staff flat is available for waking night and sleepover staff.
