Overview
Our amazing #TeamSlighean in North Lanarkshire are now on the lookout for caring, compassionate and flexible colleagues to join them as a Support Practitioner on a permanent basis.
About The Role
We provide a variety of support depending on each young person’s needs and aspirations. Some of the people we support attend college, where our team provides assistance during the day. Others live with their families, and we support them throughout the week to enjoy activities they love from swimming and going to the cinema, to exploring sensory rooms and other community opportunities.
We also support one young person who lives in their own tenancy with 2:1 daytime support and overnight care. Our role includes helping them maintain their home, develop new life skills such as cooking, and access the community in ways that build confidence and independence.
No two days are ever the same!
About You
At Cornerstone, we don’t recruit on experience and qualifications; we’re more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team! We’ll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills you’ll need to build your career within the Health & Social Care sector. We’ll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
All we’ll need you to bring is:
* A caring attitude and approach
* Good communication skills
* A positive approach to learning
* An understanding of the importance of routines and guidelines
* Confidence in the use of computers.
Having a full UK manual driving licence would be beneficial but not essential.
Shift Patterns
As we are dedicated to providing tailored support to each individual, shift patterns will be varied across 7 days a week. The patterns can be discussed further with successful candidates at interview.
