Overview
Looking for a new job that's packed with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as we have some great opportunities to join our amazing TeamLanglands in Dundee. We have full‑time, part‑time and relief hours available.
About the team and individuals you’ll support
You’ll become part of a dedicated team who supports individuals who have autism to live in their own homes. Their homes are all situated in the same housing support complex, so there will be no travel to other support locations while on shift.
You’ll build a genuine relationship with each individual and be part of moments that really matter; whether it’s providing support to cook a meal, achieve a goal, try something new or just feel understood.
In addition to supporting the individuals with all aspects of their daily living, you’ll also support them with hobbies and interests including football, going to the gym, walking groups, karaoke, arts and crafts and even trips away.
Being a Support Practitioner is more than just a job; there’s no better feeling than going home after every shift knowing that you’ve made a positive difference in someone’s life.
