Our team in Castle Douglas are on the lookout for compassionate individuals with a positive attitude to join them as Part Time Support Practitioners!
We currently have two part time posts available, one consisting of 20hrs per week (£13,416 PA) and a 30hr per week post (£20,124 PA)
You don't need experience in care to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferrable skills. We'll give you all the training you need to be an amazing Part Time Support Practitioner including a fully funded SVQ.
However, due to the nature of the service we do require candidates who have a full UK driving licence for manual vehicles, and access to their own cars.
The Role
As a Support Practitioner, you will assist individuals living in their own homes with disabilities and/or additional support needs in all aspects of their daily lives, including support with medication and finances, housework, meal preparation, cooking and personal care.
The people we support have a variety of different hobbies which we'll be looking to you to take an active interest in, from going out for a tasty bite or catching the latest movie to a gym session or group activity, the list is endless.
To be part of our team, we'll need you to:
1. Have an empathetic and caring nature.
2. Good observation skills.
3. Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
