Children’s Support Workers – Join Our Team! We are seeking experienced social care professionals to join our residential, respite and Lifeskills services in Lanark.

About Stanmore House Residential

Stanmore House Residential acts as both a boarding element to Stanmore House School and a residential and respite service for the children of Scotland. The young people we support are aged between 5 and 20 with a variety of complex disabilities. You would support them to live independently in our bright, fully adapted campus based in the outskirts of Lanark.

Our 4 bungalows can host up to 16 young people in total. You will be supporting our customers on either one-to-one or group care; your day will include helping them with their personal care, dressing, medication, mobility, mealtimes, attending school and appointments and participating in their chosen recreational activities for that day.

Relief / Bank Support Workers

Relief / Bank Support Workers are also required in our Lifeskills team where we have three elements to the service we provide.

• Building Based : This is where our young people meet with peers on site and take part in planned, structured activities, developing their own independent key living skills.
• Community Access : We support young people in accessing community activities, such as attending music, drama, or dance classes.
• Respite : We provide respite to meet our young people’s needs and we also use this as an opportunity to develop someone’s own key living skills.

Facilities and environment

We benefit from a great rural setting of lush, green countryside with extensive gardens on campus. We have a fantastic indoor pool for a splash about or some hydrotherapy, a rebound therapy room, sensory experiences and stories, an on-site cinema and beauty salon, and we love getting involved in our local community at Lanark too.
