• Build strong, direct relationships with your clients and team
• Gain valuable experience working in a social care environment
• Great job satisfaction

Every day at Threshold Support Services, our team provides a wide range of support to people with learning disabilities living throughout South Lanarkshire. We help them to lead ordinary lives, participating in their local communities and activities of their choice. This means creating a safe, secure and supportive environment and empowering them to take charge of their own lives and live life to the full.

Sometimes it’s the little things that count. Such as encouragement to keep their home tidy, going with them to the shops on a Wednesday, or the cinema on Thursday, helping them to attend a college course, or to arrange a social night with friends. It can be pretty challenging at times but working as part of our support team, your support will definitely make the difference.

What do you need? No direct experience is required. It’s more a positive approach and a genuine interest in helping others in a practical way. Experience of supporting people in their own homes would be an advantage. A qualification in Social Care would be ideal but it’s not essential as we’ll support you to gain it. In fact, we’ll make sure that you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.

In return, you can also look forward to an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance.

What’s more, you will be part of one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social work organisations. At CrossReach, we offer quality care and counselling to a wide range of people in need. But the real story of CrossReach is the work that our staff do: reaching out and making a real difference to the lives of others. If you’d like to join them, we look forward to hearing from you.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it. You do not need to share our faith. These posts are subject to PVG Membership.

The post is funded for 3 years by the Scottish Government to help advance support and information services, and reduce waiting lists. We also work to improve partnerships across Lanarkshire, helping to create a more comprehensive provision.

“Much more than just a job. It’s the way that you do it that matters.”

• Excellent training and development opportunities
• Great job satisfaction
• Good team-working

Here at Well Hall in Hamilton, we don’t just see those we work with as older people. They’re someone’s mum. Someone’s dad. Someone’s grandparent. For us, providing the best quality of care is hugely rewarding and our goal is to ensure that every one of our residents enjoys the best possible quality of life.

Something as simple as a smile can make the world of difference to our day, and theirs. If you share our belief, this is your opportunity to join our close-knit and supportive team. It can be pretty challenging at times and priorities can change quickly so you will definitely need to be a patient and understanding individual. We work closely together as a team though – there’s always someone to talk to and we all help each other out wherever we can.
