On the look out for a brand new part-time job that's packed with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as our fabulous #TeamNewhouse in Kilbirnie are looking for a new colleague to complete their team on a 16 hours per week basis.
Our team and the person you'll support
You'll join a dedicated, well-established and supportive team who provide 1:1 support to an amazing gentleman in his 30's who has Autism. As a Support Practitioner, you'll help him to maintain his own tenancy along with supporting his day to day personal needs, including meal planning, cooking, support with housework, observations with his medication and prompting with personal care. This gentleman enjoys being active and getting out most days, so you'll find yourself going out for walks, drives in his car and out for a bite to eat. He also loves going to local discos, museums and playing a few rounds at the crazy golf, but enjoys the quiet times too and likes to chill out on his tablet to relax.
We'll pay you for your training and we'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!

A full, manual UK driving licence with a minimum of 1 year driving experience
