Our fabulous Cambuslang team are on the lookout for compassionate and creative individuals with a positive attitude to join them as Support Practitioners.

Our shifts include earlies, lates and sleepovers which start at 9am until 9am the following day and sleep between 11pm and 7am along with weekends and public holidays on a rotational basis.
There may be occasions that you will be asked to start early or stay later depending on activities the people we support have on.
