Looking for a new part-time job where you can make a real difference and be that person that someone can rely on?
You're in luck as our amazing #TeamGlebe in Cowdenbeath are now on the lookout for a caring and reliable individual to join them on a part-time (16 hours per week) basis.
As a Support Practitioner you'll become part of a small, friendly team who provides invaluable support to two amazing gentlemen within their own shared home.
You'll build genuine relationships with them both 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.

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.
