Get Ready to Thrive in 2025!

We are now recruiting for Relief Support Practitioners to join our established teams in Dundee.

As a Relief Support Practitioner, you will support people with all aspects of daily living at home and in their communities. You will assist people with planning for their future and prevent the effects of social isolation and loneliness in their lives.

We adopt a person-centered approach to working with individuals who require support for a variety of reasons including Mental Health issues, Autism, Physical & Learning Disabilities. The role will involve support with day to day living such as personal care, medication support and cleaning but also involves a lot of social support such as outings in the local community, attending groups and helping people achieve their dreams.

Whilst experience is always welcome, full training is provided. The right values and motivation are essential; honesty, respect, empathy and compassion are key skills that are required in people who join our teams.

Our Relief Support Practitioner role allows you to have the flexibility to pick and choose shifts around other commitments you may have in your life. All we ask is that you are able to complete your training requirements (classroom and online style) and work with us on a fairly regular basis.

We would particularly welcome your application if you have an interest in waking night shifts.
