Our vision is of a just and accepting society where everyone can participate and enjoy life.
We are a stable and growing organisation, and value our people as individuals. We are able to offer established career development opportunities and furnish our staff with the skills they require through our comprehensive in-house training portfolio in a purpose-built Learning Centre. Through this Centre, opportunities are available for staff to complete formal qualifications such as SVQs and HNCs, as well as ongoing support from colleagues and line managers being available throughout the organisation.
We offer flexible working hours - including full and part time or job share. Quarriers was recently recognised in a book entitled 'Take the Time for a Work-life Strategy' where a case study was featured highlighting how the values of the organisation applied equally to staff and service users.
In return for your commitment, we offer a competitive salary, a minimum of 24 days annual leave (plus 8 statutory holidays), life assurance and pension schemes and an employee assistance programme, including support from occupational health and physiotherapy.
One of the benefits that Quarriers makes available to staff is the opportunity to participate in a childcare voucher scheme. Childcare vouchers are exempt from Tax and National Insurance up to the value of £55 per week. This could mean a saving of up to £1195 per year.
Quarriers offer recognition of continuity of employment, at Directors’ discretion for NHS, Local Authorities and voluntary organisations, for some posts.
When recruiting, we understand that to get the best out of a team, we need a diverse range of people from a variety of backgrounds. So we're keen to meet qualified and experienced people, as well as those with life experience - like caring for a family member.
In line with our duty of care to the vulnerable people we support we operate a rigorous recruitment process for all posts. We conduct enhanced Disclosure Scotland checks for all staff in a care role.
So as you can see, at Quarriers, it's not just about our charity - it's about you too.
