    Brief

    This opportunity involves providing social care workers through agency staffing services to support vulnerable populations across Orkney. Services are required across multiple care settings including: home care (in-home support for elderly and disabled individuals), care homes (residential facilities), supported accommodation (housing with additional support services), and sheltered housing (age-friendly housing with on-site support). The provision requires qualified, experienced care workers capable of delivering person-centered support, maintaining safeguarding standards, and working within health and social care regulations. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to maintain adequate staffing levels, provide appropriate training and supervision, and ensure continuity of care for service users.
