Job description

Do you have a passion for art and looking for a rewarding weekend role? If you share our values and want to make a difference in someone’s life, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

We have a fantastic opportunity for a creative individual with a positive attitude to join our team in Milngavie as a Bank Support Practitioner.

This is a bank role, meaning shifts are offered on an as-and-when-required basis, depending on the needs of the service. While hours aren’t guaranteed, the role offers flexibility and the opportunity to make a real difference.

The Role:

We’re looking for someone who is primarily available during the day on Saturdays, between 10am and 5pm, to support an established artist with complex needs who lives in his own home.

The gentleman enjoys meaningful conversations, sharing his knowledge and exploring his interests. His artwork is first and foremost to him, providing a way to express his feelings and his unique perspective on life and the world around him.

He loves painting and creates his art in a space in Glasgow. His family and interests also play an important part in his life, with a particular passion for Sonic the Hedgehog.

You’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team, helping individuals with all aspects of daily living. This may include preparing meals, supporting with medication, attending appointments and activities, managing personal finances, moving and handling, and personal care. Alongside this dedicated support, there may be opportunities to pick up additional shifts across our services.

You’ll also provide emotional support and help people maintain meaningful relationships with family and friends. Some individuals have complex communication needs and use a range of communication tools, so being patient, understanding and adaptable is essential.

To be a great Bank Support Practitioner, you will bring:

A caring and empathetic nature.

Confidence with computers and digital systems.

The ability to work well both independently and within a team.

Strong organisational skills.

Your responsibilities may include:

Supporting with meal preparation and medication.

Providing personal care and assisting with moving and handling.

Supporting individuals to attend appointments and community activities.

Encouraging hobbies, interests, social opportunities and confidence-building.

Supporting with budgeting, daily living skills and personal organisation.

Providing emotional support and helping individuals maintain positive relationships.

No two days are the same, and every shift offers the chance to make a meaningful difference.
