Looking for a new job that actually feels rewarding?
We're looking for new people to join our #TeamPollaine in Stonehaven on a part-time or full-time basis. We've also have relief roles too if you need something a bit more flexible.
You’ll be joining a friendly, fun team who currently support one gentleman to live in his shared home. It’s a really exciting time to come on board, as we’ll soon be welcoming another gentleman into the home too.
Day To Day
You'll be helping with things like:
- Cooking, shopping and housework
- Managing money and medication
- Personal care and daily routines
- Getting out and about, enjoying hobbies and activities
Both gentlemen enjoy being part of their local community and enjoy things like technology, going for walks, day trips, games, cooking, baking and music.
As one gentleman has his own Motability car and loves going for drives, it would be great if you hold a full UK, manual driving license, but it's not essential.
About You
We're ideally looking for individuals with experience of autism along with an understanding of the importance of routines and guidelines. However, transferrable skills are also important and you’ll receive robust training and have a helpful team behind you to support you every step of the way.
We'll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills you'll need and we'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification, PVG and yearly SSSC registration fees!
All we’ll need you to bring is:
- A patient, caring and compassionate attitude
- The ability to work well in a team
- Good communication and organisational skills
- A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
- 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
As we're dedicated to providing around the clock support tailored to the needs of each individual and include weekends and public holidays. At present, our typical shift patterns usually fall in between the hours of 0800-2200 hours and will include weekends, public holidays and sleepovers on a rotational basis.
Our sleepovers are not included in your contracted hours, so you’ll receive an additional sleepover payment of between £107.60 per night for each sleepover worked!
As the new gentleman transitions into his new environment, waking nights may also be part of your rota on a rotational basis initially.
Just a heads up - public transport links to the service, so you'll need to be confident getting to and from Stonehaven for your shifts if you're not a driver.
