Jobs in East Renfrewshire

We are seeking a passionate and inspiring Operational Manager to lead and grow our Adult & Children Outreach services. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who truly believes in family-centred support and wants to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children, adults and their families.

You will play a key role in shaping services that are responsive to the unique needs of each individual and family we support. By treating everyone with respect and dignity, you will use your strong communication skills to build trusting relationships and work in partnership with families, communities and other key people.

We are looking for someone who can provide clear guidance, leadership and support to the outreach team, ensuring the delivery of high-quality and personalised services. You will champion excellence, maintaining strong standards of quality, impact and continuous improvement while always keeping people and families at the heart of everything we do.

We’re looking for a kind, easy-going person to give us a hand for a few hours a week. The job’s mainly housework — things like cleaning, ironing, and making the odd cuppa, toast, or sandwich for Karen, who has disabilities and spends a lot of time sitting down.

It’s not heavy care work — mostly helping around the house and keeping Karen company — but on some days, she may need a wee bit more help with things like washing or dressing.

The role also gives Ian (Karen’s husband and main carer) a bit of breathing space to get out to work, so it’s a real help to the household.

We’ve got a friendly cat, so you’ll need to be okay with pets.

We will manage Contracts and Payroll.

The candidate needs:

• A good sense of humour. This is a must in our home; laughter’s how we get through the tricky days!
• A car. There may occasionally be doctor or hospital appointments to attend. Karen is a wheelchair user when out of the house, so the car will need space for a fold-up chair.
• A PVG, but we can organise if not already obtained.
