Job description

Could you be the person who makes someone’s day? Start a career where what you do really matters.

What if your job wasn't just about getting through the day — but about helping someone live their best life?

Whether you are starting out, changing careers, or looking for something flexible - we're looking for a new female* colleague to join us part-time ( 25 hours per week) in Clydebank.

No two days are the same

Forget sitting behind a desk doing the same thing every day.

Our friendly team support 4 ladies with various learning disabilities to live in their own home where they can achieve their individual goals and live their best life.

As a Support Practitioner, you'll play a key role in people's everyday lives and help them do the things that are important to them.

That could mean:

• Supporting someone to maintain their own home
• Gardening or getting out into the community
• Enjoying hobbies such as knitting
• Going along to a dance class
• Sharing a chat and a cup of tea
• Going on days out and exploring new places
• Supporting someone to achieve a personal goal

It's the little moments that can make the biggest difference. You'll be there to encourage, support and empower people — not to do everything for them. Your role is to help people build confidence, develop independence and have the freedom to make their own choices.

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.

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.
