Make Weekends Count — For You and the Young People You Support
Are you a social care or nursing student looking to gain experience in the sector?
Or maybe you are looking for a relief/bank weekend job or second income, doing rewarding, meaningful work?
If so, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
At Capability Scotland, our Youthzone service provides fun-filled weekend respite sessions for disabled children and young people. It’s all about play, friendship, and independence — giving young people a space to grow their confidence and social skills, while families enjoy valuable respite time.
Every weekend, our young people enjoy a variety of engaging activities based on their interests — from arts and crafts, cooking, trampolining and puzzles, to sports, outdoor play, and exciting community outings. We listen to their ideas and make each session their own.
About the Role
We’re looking for enthusiastic Support Workers/Practitioners to join our weekend team, every Saturday, from our Riccarton Hub (EH14) and Craigmillar Hub (EH16). If you love bringing creativity and fun into your work — whether that’s baking, crafting, playing games, or leading trips into the community — this could be the perfect role for you.
You’ll be a key part of the team, helping young people to:
Build confidence, self-help and social skills
Make friends and feel part of a community
Take part in meaningful, fun activities
Gain independence in a safe, caring environment
You will:
Provide personal care as required, ensuring dignity and respect for each individual.
Foster a positive, safe, and inclusive environment where young people feel supported.
This is an energetic, hands-on role where no two days are the same — and every smile makes it worthwhile.
What We’re Looking For
While experience is great, what matters most is your energy, empathy, and enthusiasm for helping young people thrive.
We’re looking for someone who is:
Caring, creative, and patient, with a sense of fun
A great team player and communicator
Flexible, reliable, and positive in all situations
Qualified to SVQ3/HNC in Childcare (desirable, but not essential — full training and funded SVQ available)
Driving licence desirable but not essential
