Support Practitioner

**Looking to start a new job with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? **You're in luck as we're looking for people like you

Our fantastic #TeamParkvale in Longside are looking for caring, open and honest individuals to join them as **Support Practitioners** on a part-time (16, 20 or 25 hours per week), permanent basis. We also have relief contracts too, if you are looking for something more flexible.

**The Role**

You'll become part of a fun, friendly team who support five individuals with learning and physical disabilities to live in their own shared home. You'll provide invaluable support with all aspects of their daily living, including cooking, cleaning, finances, medication and personal care. We'll also need you to be enthusiastic and creative supporting with their hobbies and interests too, these include arts & crafts, walking and going to various social events and activities. The people we support enjoy going swimming so we will need you to feel confident in the pool.

**About You**

You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and we'll give you all the training you'll need if you're successful. We'll even put you through your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification too **However, for this opportunity we will need you to have a driving license and access to your own vehicle due to the rural location of our service.**

All we’ll need you to bring is;
- A caring and compassionate attitude
- The ability to work well in a team
- Confidence to go in the water as swimming is a regular activity
- Good communication and organisational skills
- A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
- Confidence in the use of computers
- The ability to cook (baking would be a bonus too)
- A full driving license and access to your own vehicle

**Shift Patterns**

As we're dedicated to providing the best support possible shift patterns usually fall into patterns of 0730-1600, 1200-2000, 1545-2130 and 1000-1000 hours and will include weekend and public holiday working on a rotational basis. The 1000-1000 hours shift would include a sleepover.

The sleepover part of our sleepover shifts are not included in your contracted hours, so you will receive an additional **£84** for every sleepover worked.

**Have any questions?** If you'd like to find out more, please contact **Dawn Bruce on 01779 821845.**

If you’re successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 6 months of starting your employment with us.
