Support Workers

At Hansel Supported Living Service we provide supports to a number of people living in their own homes including:

Beattie Close in Carrick Street, Ayr
Broadmeadows Estate in Symington
Community based supports across south Ayrshire

We deliver a variety of supports, including shared and individual, ensuring our customers enjoy life to the fullest.

Our busy, vibrant and fun services involve supporting every aspect of daily living including assisting customers to be part of their wider community. You will need to be creative and adaptable to ensure everyone is included and able to live their best lives.

Most roles involve working with individuals on a 1:1 basis but whichever service successful candidates join, you will be part of a small team and will regularly support the same people, building relationships to ensure quality care at all times.

Our rotas are created around the individual needs of the people we support. This means we have a range of shift patterns available including 12-hour shifts, waking night shifts, sleep-overs, and 8-hour shifts. We offer full time or part time working.

Experience in delivering formal social care supports or personal caring experience is desirable but not essential. There are good public transport links from Hansel but some of the people we support have their own cars so a driving license can be essential in some cases. Please see our website for current requirements.
