Senior Care & Support Worker (SHCW) - Older People, Glasgow

Trust Housing Association has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Care & Support Worker (supporting Older People) to join our team at 40 Shawholm Crescent, Pollokshaws, Glasgow City G43 1NZ. This is an excellent job opportunity for those who live in and around Glasgow.

Here at Trust we are dedicated to making a real difference in caring and supporting people in their everyday lives.

As a Senior Care and Support Worker you will play a vital role in supporting older and vulnerable adults in their own homes. Working on an alternating 3‑week rolling rota with another senior, you will form a good working relationship; you will not work on the same shift as the other senior but are expected to communicate well between you both.

Enthusiastic and a supportive team member, your duties will involve supporting and mentoring support staff, managing rotas, identifying training needs, supervising, and leading the writing of personal, care & support plans. There will also be some practical support with tenants' daily life including homecare support, personal care and helping to promote a positive, active and healthy lifestyle.
