Work for us
Bring what you have to offer. Discover where it could take you.
Some people know from the beginning that care and support is the career for them. Others find their way here through volunteering, returning to work, changing direction or simply taking an opportunity that leads somewhere unexpected.
What connects those journeys is the opportunity to work alongside people, build meaningful relationships, keep learning and play a part in a community where everyone has something to contribute.
Whether you are taking your first steps into care and support, bringing experience from somewhere else or looking for your next opportunity, there could be a place for your story here.
Careers in Care
Different beginnings. Different journeys.
Some people know from the beginning that care and support is where they want to be. Others find their way here through volunteering, returning to work, changing direction or bringing experience from somewhere else. Once here, careers can grow in many different ways, whether that means developing new skills, taking on different responsibilities, moving into leadership or choosing to continue working directly alongside residents and students.
Our Careers in Care stories below celebrate those different journeys and the people behind them, showing that wherever you start, there are opportunities to learn, grow and find the role that is right for you.
More Ways to Be Part of Our Community
Care and support is at the heart of much of what we do, but it takes many different skills and roles to make community life possible.
Across Camphill Blair Drummond, people build careers in housekeeping, catering, finance and administration, gardening and estate management, and activities and life skills, alongside our care and support teams. Each role contributes in a different way, but all play a part in helping our community work, grow and thrive.
Whatever your experience or interests, there may be more than one way to find your place here.

Personal & Professional Development
Learning does not stop when you start the job.
Whether you are beginning your career in care and support, bringing experience from elsewhere or ready to take your next step, we want to help you continue learning and developing.
You will receive training and support relevant to your role, with opportunities to build your knowledge, develop new skills and learn through your everyday work. Depending on your role and experience, this can include supported learning, qualifications and opportunities to develop additional skills and responsibilities. The learning framework specifically connects development to real work and recognises that some skills are developed progressively over time.
Development does not have to mean moving into management. It might mean becoming more confident in the role you already enjoy, developing specialist skills, trying something new or taking the next step in your career. Opportunities within roles can also provide supported experience of leadership, planning, decision-making and taking greater responsibility.
Making a Difference
Care and support is often about the moments that might look small from the outside but mean something much bigger to the person involved.
It might be helping someone develop a new skill, supporting a favourite activity, building confidence to try something new or simply being there to share an important moment.
Our Support Worker responsibilities already frame the role around positive relationships, independence, personal outcomes, meaningful participation and ensuring people's voices are heard.
