About Real Life Options
Real Life Options is a registered charity dedicated to empowering people with learning disabilities, autism, and other complex needs to live fulfilling, independent lives.

About the Role
In our Inverurie Day Centre, Support Workers help individuals with a wide range of needs to lead enriched and independent lives. This includes:
Supporting with building new skills
Providing personal care where required (full training provided)
Supporting with integration into the local community
Encouraging and enabling participation in social activities such as parties, bingo, and community events
Promoting independence and helping individuals achieve their personal goals
Who We Support
The people we support in Inverurie have varied support needs, including:
Learning disabilities
Autism (including Fragile-X)
Epilepsy
Down Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
Mental health conditions
Some individuals may display challenging behaviour, including verbal or physical incidents and self-injurious behaviour. Experience in this area, particularly with de-escalation techniques and Positive Behaviour Support Plans, is highly desirable. Full training is provided.
Shifts and Flexibility
The Day Centre operates Monday through Friday, between 8.00 am and 4.00 pm, with plans to extend opening hours to weekends.
Relief cover may be required on short notice, so we are looking for individuals who are flexible with working hours.
