Care Worker - Relief

Are you a caring and empathetic person who wants to make a difference to others? Are you looking for a role within a supportive team environment? Then we can provide the support and training you need to become a Care Worker for CrossReach.

We are one of Scotland’s largest social care charities, offering care to people in need of a helping hand, supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. Our team comes from all walks of life. Some have worked in care all their lives, others join us from completely unrelated jobs or straight from school. So, if you have no experience in care, we can support you to kickstart your career in care as part of a supportive like-minded team, who are there for each other as well as the people in their care.

As a relief member of staff, you will have the flexibility to work as and when you want, with as few or as many shifts as you are able. This is a great way to achieve a work life balance, fitting work in around your other commitments.
