The Oban Day & Overnight Responder Service provides an effective and efficient way to respond to known risks that occur on an unplanned basis, for example falls and other accidents. The service also provides planned supports. The responder approach ensures that people remain safe and well in their own home, whilst reducing incidences of ambulance call-outs and hospital admissions. This approach is more enabling as it removes the requirement for some individuals to rely on a sleepover service or 2 : 1 supports, moving through a planned and risk-managed process towards greater independence and positive outcomes.

The responder service impacts emergency and community services, reassuring the people we support that someone is always on hand, allowing many individuals to feel safe at home. We look forward to helping this service grow, develop, and make positive changes for those we support.

We welcome applications from candidates already eligible to work in the UK or those that can apply for a visa granting permission to work in the UK (e.g. dependent visas, ancestry etc.) that do not require sponsorship from Carr Gomm. You will be asked to share proof of this prior to receiving any offer of employment. It is currently our policy not to offer sponsorship for prospective candidates.

Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy, you might need a work permit.
