Home Carer - ARB14086

Exciting opportunities exist for people interested in working as part of a team, providing care and support that enables people to stay safe and well in their own home.

We are looking for dedicated, enthusiastic and compassionate people to join our Care at Home Team based on the Isle of Colonsay to support members of the community to maintain their independence at home and achieve their personal aims and objectives.

This role includes assisting with Personal Care and Reablement practice. We provide paid comprehensive induction and training for all staff.

If you are looking for employment that is more flexible, our service is always looking for Casual Workers to provide ad hoc support on variable hours.

Argyll and Bute Council recognises the numerous benefits of a positive work-life balance to the wellbeing and productivity of our employees. We will take a flexible first approach to requests from our employees to change the way that they work. While we must balance such requests with the need to ensure the quality of the important services we deliver is not compromised, we will ensure that each request is given careful consideration with a view to achieving a positive outcome wherever possible.
