Our values

All of the work we do is underpinned by our three core values: respect, compassion, thrive.

Austim - Service Homelessness - Service

You don’t need any experience in the care sector to work with us. All we ask is that you share our core values, and understand that this kind of work is about far more than money.

Our people are very hardworking, because working for us is very complex. Some days are challenging, and some days are a great laugh.

That’s why working with us is so rewarding. It’s hard, but you also get the chance to make a real difference in people’s lives.

You can help young people move through homelessness into caring for their very first flat. You can offer companionship and care to elderly people who have no family. And so much more…

That’s why it takes a special kind of person to work here. Someone who understands our values, and lives them every day.

At withYOU, these three values run through everything that we do.

Compassion

At withYOU we care generously. We are people people, and we don’t stand still. We always have a kind and encouraging word – whether we’re speaking to a service user or a colleague. And above all, we always go above and beyond. Whether it’s filling in a housing benefit form or taking someone grocery shopping, we’re always ready and willing to help people do whatever they need to do.

Respect

In this job you’ll work with people who have a range of abilities and come from a range of backgrounds. Every single one of them deserves respect. We treat everyone equally and the way we’d like to be treated ourselves. We don’t discriminate against anyone based on personal qualities like race, sexuality, gender identity, religious background, age and neurodiversity. After all, our differences are what make us special.

Thrive

As well as helping our service users to live their best lives, we also aim to help our staff members thrive. As part of this, we offer a comprehensive range of learning and development opportunities. We provide SVQ training in partnership with West Lothian College, and can also offer funding for any other related courses our staff want to do. Our generous benefits package includes flexible working, enhanced leave and free counseling through our Employee Assist Program.
