The Richmond Fellowship Scotland is a leading voluntary organisation, supporting people with a broad range of needs to live in their own homes, as part of their community. We are an organisation driven by strong values and a firm commitment to choice, dignity and social inclusion. Although we support over 2800 people throughout Scotland, we are committed to delivering services that recognise people as individuals and treat them with dignity and respect; just like we would all want ourselves. We are currently looking to increase our staff resource at a new Criminal Justice and Mental Health Service in Dunfermline. We are looking for people who can help our supported individuals to achieve their own positive outcomes. We are therefore looking to recruit new staff members to join the team. We have Full time, Part time and Sessional roles available, with back, early, late and sleepover shifts. No care experience is necessary for these positions, but we are also seeking people who have previously worked in this type of service and who are looking to develop their career with an organisation committed to achieving outcomes for the people we support and for our staff. People with skills in supporting those with autism and learning disabilities, will find this a great service to be part of. This is an excellent opportunity to make a change in your life and in that of the people we support. The work can be challenging, but as well as a competitive salary, enhanced pension contributions, annual leave and discounts at over 850 online and high street retailers, we can offer you a rewarding and satisfying role in your local community. Closing date: 17.3.23 (We reserve the right to close this vacancy at any time) PVG checks will be required of all successful applicants; having a conviction will not necessarily debar you from working in this sector and as part of our compliance checks, all candidates will be asked, if successful, to undergo a risk assessment based on underlying conditions due to Covid-19 and all new staff members will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of their start date. Please note that Care workers have been absolutely critical to our pandemic response, giving vulnerable people the care they need and avoiding further pressure falling on the NHS. Therefore, the Scottish Government are funding both SSSC registration and PVG checks for any new staff joining the social care workforce till 25.06.22 As part of our compliance checks, all candidates will be asked, if successful, to undergo a risk assessment based on underlying conditions due to covid-19.
