Are you passionate about supporting others reach their full potential and looking for a fulfilling role? If you’re based in or near Easterhouse and have a full UK, manual driving licence, this could be what you have been waiting for!

We’re recruiting for motivated and understanding female colleagues with a creative mindset to join our fabulous team as full-time Support Practitioners.

For this role, it is essential that you hold a full UK, manual driving licence with a minimum of 1 year's driving experience, as the young lady will be getting her own mobility car.

You don’t need previous experience in care to join our team, as we recruit on values and transferable skills. We provide full training along with the opportunity for you to complete your SVQ.

This role will primarily involve supporting a young lady in her early 20s, moving into her first home after living with her parents. Your role as a Support Practitioner will involve providing transitional support to help her learn essential life skills, such as managing her own home, increasing her confidence and independence. All flats are within walking distance.

As a Support Practitioner, your main responsibilities include assisting with daily living activities such as meal preparation, medication management, attending appointments, managing personal finances, and personal care prompts. You will support her in exploring hobbies like jigsaw puzzles and movies, and help her engage with her community.

To be an ideal Support Practitioner, you should:

• Have an empathetic and caring nature
• Possess excellent communication skills
• Be comfortable using computers
• Work well independently and in a team
• Have good organisational skills
