Job description

Support Practitioner (Driver only)

Company: Cornerstone (Aberdeen) Salary: £27,277 to £27,277 a year, pro rata Hours: Part-time Location: Motherwell Working pattern: On-site Job type: Permanent Posting date: 27 Oct 2026 Closing date: 9 Nov 2026

Looking for a part-time job that’s anything but ordinary?

Join #TeamNLCS and make a real difference in the lives of young people and adults with disabilities and additional support needs across Motherwell and Wishaw!

We have a permanent 16-hour-per-week opportunity available.

What will you be doing?

• Swimming
• Going to the gym
• Bowling
• Cinema trips
• Activity clubs
• Supporting college attendance
• Going out for meals or to the pub

You’ll also provide support with everyday tasks such as shopping, cooking, appointments, finances, medication, household tasks and personal care.

Due to the needs of the service, we will also need you to have full UK manual drivers licence. Ideally, you’ll be confident in and around water, as swimming is a regular activity for one of the people we support but this isn't a deal breaker for the right candidate.

If you’re friendly, reliable, caring and ready for a role where every day brings something new, we’d love to hear from you!

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.

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.
