Irvine, United Kingdom cornerstone community care Full time

**Are you passionate about providing first class support to give others opportunities to reach their goals **If you're ready for a new challenge, this could be just the role for you

We're looking for caring and bubbly colleagues with exceptional communication skills to join our busy Community Support service as **Support Practitioners **in North Ayrshire. We have 16 to 30 hour contracts available.

You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferrable skills. However, as the individuals we support have barriers to communication, we will need you to bring an excellent grasp and understanding of the English language.

We'll pay you for your training and will give you all the practical skills you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification too

**The Role**

This is an exciting, varied role, where no two days are the same As a **Support Practitioner**, you will play a crucial role in supporting individuals with all aspects of daily living, including cooking, support to activities and appointments, managing personal finances, assisting with medication and personal care. You'll take an active interest in their hobbies and interests which include exploring new locations, going for walks, listening to music and taking part in arts and crafts. With your guidance and care, you'll help the people we support be an active member of their local community.

It would be great if you had a full driving licence and have access to your own vehicle, however, this isn't a deal breaker

To be a great **Support Practitioner**, you will be:

- a great listener with a warm, friendly personality
- able to demonstrate exceptional communication skills
- able to build and maintain positive, respectful relationships with lots of different types of people
- competent in the use of technology to enhance the support you provide
- creative and proactive with a positive, can-do attitude
- reliable and flexible to meet the needs of the people we support

**Shift Patterns**

Our dedicated CS team provide support across 7 days, with shifts between 10am-to 4pm, 2.30pm to 7.30pm and 12pm until 9pm. There maybe times where evening shifts end a little later at night depending on activities. Weekends and public holidays will be included in your rota.

**Do you have any questions? **To find out more, please contact **Caroline MacDonald on 0770854939.**

If you’re successful in joining our team, you will be expected to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and must be willing to work towards a SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare as required for SSSC registration. We will need you to register with the SSSC within 6 months of starting your employment with us.
