Temporary Jobs in Achnasheen, ross and cromarty, uk

Are you someone who brings patience, empathy, and a caring approach to your work? Would you like to be in a role where your support helps others live with dignity, independence, and comfort?

We’re looking for a Relief Care Worker to join our dedicated team. Reporting to the Unit Manager, you’ll work alongside supportive colleagues from a range of backgrounds and professions, all committed to delivering high-quality care.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will :

• Support with personal and intimate care, always with kindness and respect
• Assist individuals with aids and equipment to help them live as independently as possible
• Work alongside health professionals to ensure every person’s needs are met
• Encourage mental and physical activity – from quiet moments to engaging activities
• Help maintain a clean, safe, and personalised living space
• Support nutritional needs and respond calmly to emergencies when they arise

No two days are the same – but every shift brings the opportunity to have a real impact.

What We’re Looking For :

We welcome people from all walks of life. You don’t need previous care experience – what matters most is a caring nature, a reliable approach, and a willingness to learn.

You’ll ideally hold an SVQ Level 3 in Social Care, or be willing to work towards this qualification. Basic digital skills are important too, as you’ll use our e-learning system for training and development.

As a member of the team, you’ll be respectful of our Christian ethos and open to supporting people of all faiths or none. You’ll help enable those who wish to attend worship or engage in spiritual practices of their choice.

You’ll also need to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) – or be willing to join both before you begin.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.
