This is an exciting time to join the Direct Services Team at Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland as we are developing and expanding services in response to the demand from those affected by spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus.
SBH Scotland is building up a bank of Sessional Support Workers to assist either our children and young people or our adult members in a variety of settings. Reporting to the Senior Family Resource Worker, our Sessional Workers may be providing 1 to 1 support or helping to run an engaging active or social group work. Your hours may be spent at our support centre in Cumbernauld or out and about at a variety of exciting locations across the West of Scotland.
