Job Overview
About Emma

Emma is a bright, loving young person who brings joy and warmth to everyone around her. She has complex support needs and requires full\-time, hands\-on care in all aspects of daily life including personal care, feeding, dressing, and constant supervision to keep her safe. Emma is age 9, non\-verbal and communicates in her own wonderful ways, and we are looking for someone who will take the time to truly understand and connect with her.

What the Role Involves

  • Full personal care — dressing, changing, washing and hygiene support

  • Feeding and mealtime support

  • Constant, attentive supervision to ensure Emma's safety at all times

  • Engaging Emma in activities suited to her interests and abilities

  • Communicating positively and patiently — Emma is non\-verbal and expressive in her own way

  • Working closely with Emma's family and primary carer

What We Are Looking For
  • Previous experience supporting individuals with profound or complex learning disabilities— this is essential

  • Experience with non\-verbal communication (Makaton, PECS, or reading individual cues)

  • A warm, patient, and compassionate nature — this is so much more than a job

  • Reliability and flexibility — Emma's family depend on you when cover is needed

  • Paediatric First Aid certificate (desirable)

  • A valid PVG Scheme membership (Disclosure Scotland) — or willingness to apply prior to starting

  • A full valid driving licence and access to own transport — travel to the family's location in North Lanarkshire is required

Qualifications

Experience supporting individuals with profound or complex learning disabilities is essential. An SVQ Level 2/3 in Health and Social Care or equivalent is desirable but not required — the right person and attitude will always matter most to us.

If you think you could be the right person for Emma, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch with Laura to introduce yourself and tell us a little about your experience.

All applicants must be willing to undergo a PVG check prior to starting. This position is funded through a North Lanarkshire Council Direct Payment.

Pay: £12\.50\-£14\.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
