Job description

Looking for a part-time job where no two days are the same? Join #TeamRovers and make a real difference in the lives of young people and adults with disabilities and additional support needs across our services! We have permanent 24-hour-per-week opportunities available, working across different services within Bellshill and Coatbridge.

The Role

This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll have the opportunity to work across different services, support different people and experience something new every day.

You could be supporting people to:

• Enjoy hobbies and activities
• Get out into the community
• Complete everyday tasks and shopping
• Prepare meals and manage their home
• Enjoy trips out, social activities and days out

You’ll also provide support with things like appointments, medication, personal care and daily living, depending on the needs of the people you’re supporting.

If you’re flexible, caring, reliable and enjoy meeting new people, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

What we're looking for - what matters most

No experience, don't worry, we're more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team.

We'll give you full training, pay you for your training and provide a supportive team around you every step of the way. We'll also fund your SVQ (SCQF Level 6/7) qualification and your PVG and SSSC registration fees.

• Kind, compassionate and positive people
• Reliable and committed
• A good communicator and team player
• Comfortable working independently
• Willing to learn and try new things
• Confident using technology and new systems
• Organised, with good administrative and numeracy skills
• Able to follow routines, policies and guidelines

More than just a job

Being a Support Practitioner is about much more than completing a shift. It's about building relationships, encouraging independence and helping someone enjoy a life that is meaningful to them.

There's no better feeling than heading home at the end of your shift knowing you've made a genuine difference to someone's life.

Shift patterns

We provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shift patterns fall in to earlies, lates and sleepovers. Weekends, sleepovers and public holidays would form part of your rota on a rotational basis.

We are looking to fill these vacancies as soon as possible so reserve the right to close our advert early if we find suitable candidates before the closing date.

Our sleepovers are separate from your contracted hours, so you’ll receive an additional payment of £107.60 for every sleepover you work - giving you the opportunity to earn extra alongside your contracted hours.

Please note - If if you have spent more than 12 months out with the UK (excluding France, Germany. Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre‑employment checks.

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 3 months of starting your employment with us.

Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
