Neighbourhood Networks is a registered Scottish Charity with 20 year’s experience of facilitating peer support networks with vulnerable adults across the Central Belt of Scotland.

Neighbourhood Networks encourages people to think about how they might come together to help each other. We work with people who may be isolated or at risk of isolation within their communities. This may be as a result of a learning disability, poor mental health, a physical disability, sensory impairment or as a result of a variety of other circumstances.

We currently have a vacancy for a Network Manager. The role involves the day to day management of up to 3 networks ensuring Community Living Workers provide a high standard of service to network members.

We are looking for a flexible, energetic and resilient person who is committed to the vision, mission and values of the organisation. The post holder will display a can do attitude and be passionate about supporting members of the network to achieve outcomes and their full potential with a focus on peer support and developing connections in the local communities where the network is based.

The Supported Housing Worker role requires assisting in the management of the development thus ensuring the tenants are able to enjoy an acceptable standard of living in an environment which is clean, safe and friendly. You will be responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the tenants and for assisting them in maintaining their independence.

As housing care worker your role will involve working with our tenants to ensure they receive the support and personal care identified in their care plans. You will directly support tenants in their homes by providing individual advice, practical housing support assistance and personal care.

Both roles are to ensure that we are able to offer the best service to our tenants and make it possible for our tenants to continue enjoying as much independent living as they’re able.

As well as a competitive annual salary, our valued team also benefits from:

• competitive hourly rates of £9.30 - £9.76 per hour;
• guaranteed rota hours working between 7.30am & 10pm
• generous annual leave entitlement;
• a choice of pension scheme with employer contributions;
• flexible working policies;
• access to extensive paid training and development opportunities; and
• a supportive and inclusive culture.

We also have opportunities with our Trust Staff Agency - for employees who want to work across different locations, in various roles, with highly flexible hours to suit family commitments - it's a great opportunity with the same training and development that our other roles benefit from.

Previous experience working in social care or the housing sector would be an advantage but this is not always necessary. Our ideal candidate is someone with enthusiasm, a caring nature and willingness to learn as full training, support and ongoing development will be provided.
