    Brief

    This opportunity seeks qualified social care workers through agency provision to support vulnerable adults across multiple care settings in Orkney, including homecare (in-home support), care homes (residential facilities), supported accommodation (housing with integrated support services), and sheltered housing (secure housing with on-site support). The service provider will supply trained and vetted care workers to deliver person-centered care, assist with activities of daily living, provide emotional support, and ensure safeguarding standards are met. Successful suppliers should demonstrate experience in social care delivery, robust recruitment and vetting procedures, compliance with regulatory requirements, and the ability to maintain consistent staffing levels to meet service user needs across multiple locations.
