Support Practitioner – Forth Valley

1 week ago


Falkirk, Falkirk, United Kingdom Carr Gomm Full time

Our services are complex – a fresh challenge doesn't always mean starting from scratch – come and tell us your experience.

Sean's motto is to live life to the fullest. He teaches us every day that whatever the circumstances – it's important to live a happy life of your choosing.

At the age of three, Sean moved from home into a large residential hospital to live in an environment that, at the time, was thought to be best for his complex support and care needs.

He continued to have a great relationship with his mum, and was happy. But as the wards got bigger, it became more difficult for Sean to live a life of his choosing, and the support that had been abundant at the beginning, began to ebb and flow.

Moving to Carr Gomm

In 2003, Carr Gomm had just opened a new service in Forth Valley – a spacious new bungalow designed for people with complex physical and emotional support needs. Sean moved here to his new home.

Nearly 20 years later and he is more independent, curious, fun, and above all else, happy. Over the years, our team has worked closely with Sean – getting to know his likes and dislikes. Together, we've created support that works for him as an individual. Our support is delivered 24-hours a day, across a variety of shift plans.

Understanding the role

These roles will involve different aspects of supporting people, including;

· Social Support to ensure people have a valued role in their community

· Medication Support to keep people safe with their prescribed medication

· Personal Care to assist people to maintain their wellbeing, which would include assistance with bathing, dressing, incontinence care, peg feeding, stoma care, and arranging visits with the dentist/doctor

· Practical Support to helping people to maintain their tenancy by encouraging and helping with daily household tasks such as general housework, laundry, ironing, cooking, shopping.
