Crossroads South Ayrshire Care Attendant Scheme

🎄🎅 Is it too early to mention the C-word?! 🎅🎄

We know, we know… it’s only October! 😂🙈 But here at Crossroads South Ayrshire, we’re already getting organised for our Christmas Fayre on Saturday 28th November! 🎁✨

So, while some of you might still be thinking about Halloween or Bonfire Night, we’re putting our festive hats on and looking for TOMBOLA PRIZES! 🎄🎁

Have you got any unwanted gifts, chocolates, biscuits, toiletries, bottles, vouchers or other suitable items that could find a new home and help make our fayre a success? We’d be so grateful for any donations! 💙

🎁 Donations can be:
📍 Dropped off at the office
💙 Handed to your care attendant
🚗 Or just get in touch and we’ll arrange collection!

We promise we’re not trying to rush the year away… but Christmas will be here before we know it! 😂🎅

Thank you, as always, for your kindness and support. Let’s make this Christmas Fayre a cracker! 🎄💙

Please like, share and spread the word! ❤️

💙 Fancy doing something that actually makes a difference? 💙

We’re on the lookout for Bank Staff - Care Attendants to join Crossroads (South Ayrshire)… and this isn’t your typical care role.
This is about spending proper time with people—having a chat, going a wee outing, keeping someone company—while giving their usual carer a really important break.

It’s meaningful, it’s personal, and it matters more than you can imagine 💛

✨ Visits are a minimum of 2 hours, so you can build real connections—not just pop in and out

What we’re looking for:

- Kind, caring people (the most important bit!)
- Reliable & flexible
- Good communicators
- Some care experience preferred
- Willing to work towards SVQ Level 2 if you don’t already have it

If you’ve ever thought about getting into care—or just want to do something genuinely rewarding—this could be right up your street 😊

📞 Give the team a call on 01292 671331 to request an application form —or tag someone who’d be brilliant at this 👇

Now, we’re not saying anything’s right or wrong… but we are saying:

We might just have something up our sleeve for those paying attention 😉

No clues. No spoilers. Just a wee reward for the eagle-eyed 🦅
