Looking for a new part-time job? We've got just the opportunity for you!
We're now on the look out for new colleagues to join our #TeamBordersCS team in Galashiels on a permanent (16, 20, 25 or 30 hours per week) basis.
Our Team and the Individuals You'll Support
You'll become part of a dedicated and supportive team who provide support to two individuals in their own homes who live less than a mile apart.
-
Female Individual
- Loves to socialise
- Keen to learn and develop new skills
- Enjoys going to the cinema, the pub, swimming, and football
-
Male Individual
- Fun loving
- Has complex support needs
- Enjoys music, riding his bike, swimming, and socialising
- Interested in having more a presence in his community
Both individuals have their own tenancy, so you'll also find yourself supporting them with all aspects of daily living, including household tasks, meal planning, cooking, prompting or providing personal care, and finances.
About You
You don't need experience or qualifications to start your career with us, we're more interested in what you'll bring to the role. We'll pay you for your training and even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification, PVG costs, and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
All we’ll need you to bring is:
- A caring and compassionate attitude and approach
- The ability to work well in a team
- Confidence in the water as swimming is a regular activity
- Good communication skills
- A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
- An understanding of the importance of routines and guidelines
- Confidence in the use of computers
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Shift Patterns
We provide 24/7 support, so shift patterns will include early mornings, days, and evenings. Weekends, public holidays, and sleepovers would be worked on a rotational basis.
The sleepover part of your shift isn't included in your contracted hours, so you will also receive an additional £107.60 for each sleepover worked.
