Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Are you on the look out for a new part-time job with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as our amazing #TeamDrum in Dunfermline are now on the look out for two new caring, patient and flexible colleagues to join them on a permanent (16-36 hours per week) basis. We also have relief opportunities too if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.

The Role

The great thing about this job is that no two days are ever the same. You'll become part of a friendly, supportive team who support four amazing ladies who have profound and complex needs. Your base will be within the ladies' fully adapted, purpose built home in Dunfermline, which is complete with ceiling hoists and adaptive technology.

As a Support Practitioner, you'll assist with all aspects of the ladies' daily living, including going to appointments, meal preparation, finances and housework. Three of the ladies do use wheelchairs, so you will provide support with all aspects of their personal care too. The ladies are all non-verbal and have limited communication, so getting to know them will take time but once you do, you'll find the job and their company so rewarding.

Our team enjoy encouraging the ladies to live a valued life and get the opportunity to have a variety of experiences. They plan lots of days out and arrange a number of activities in their home, from arts and crafts to alpaca visits.

The ladies have their own mobility cars so it would be great if you have a full, clean manual UK driving licence, but this isn’t a deal breaker for the right candidate.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about making a difference to the lives of others with a bubbly and outgoing nature and can think creatively when planning activities. The ladies have their own car so it would be great if you have a full, manual UK driving licence, but this isn’t a deal breaker for the right candidate!

We recruit on values and transferrable skills, so you don't need experience or qualifications to start your career with us. We'll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills that you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!

What we need you to bring: -

• A caring attitude and approach
• A positive approach to learning
• Good team working skills with the ability to work on your own initiative
• Confidence in the use of computers
• You'll have a meaningful job doing things that you enjoy - it often doesn't feel like work
• Your job actually changes and improves lives - you'll make a difference in your local community
• We have a culture of empowering our colleagues and teamwork
• No uniform - we wear our own casual clothes
• We fund up to £ towards driving lessons
• We reimburse your yearly SSSC registration fees
• Access to funded qualifications through our SQA approved, award winning Training Academy
• Ongoing continued professional development and career progression opportunities
• Recommend a colleague bonus scheme
• Long service awards
• Access to a 24/7 independent employee assistance helpline
• 26 days annual leave (rising by 5 days after 5 years) plus 4 paid bank holidays
• Family friendly leave options, including family, parental, bereavement and special leave
• Access to lots of discounts, including the cinema, gym memberships, holidays and shopping to name a few

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

Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy.

Please note - 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, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.
