The Role

You’ll be joining a friendly and dedicated team who provide support 19 individuals in the community either in their own homes, with family or in sheltered accommodation who enjoy various hobbies. These can include going out for lunches and shopping to watching to football and going to their favourite clubs. Some of the individuals we support attend college and have jobs.

As a Support Practitioner you will assist with all aspects of daily living including meal preparation, medication, going to appointments and activities, managing personal finances, support with moving and handling and personal care. As well as helping the people we support in their own homes, you’ll also provide emotional support and support them to maintain relationships with family and friends.

The people we support have a range of different needs including Autism, learning and physical disabilities and challenging behaviours.

Some individuals have their own mobility cars and love going for a drive. It would be great if you have a full UK, manual driving licence but this isn’t mandatory to join our team

During your shift you may be providing support between 3 to 8 individuals who all live close by. One of the people we support lives in Bishopton but travel is factored into your shift time.
