Are you looking for a rewarding role that fits around your commitments? If you share our values and you’re ready for some job satisfaction, then look no further!
We're hiring in Dumbarton and Clydebank for Bank Support Practitioners and on the look out for understanding and creative colleagues with a positive attitude to join our teams.
This is a Bank (as and when required) role, meaning shifts will be offered based on service needs. If you're looking for full-time, guaranteed hours, this may not be the right fit, but if you want flexibility, we'd love to hear from you! We recruit on values and transferrable skills and we’ll give you all the training you need to be an amazing Bank Support Practitioner and pay you for time.
The Role
As a Bank Support Practitioner you will play a vital role within our team. You will cover shifts to ensure continued high-quality, person-centred care and support during times of annual leave, training or sickness. To build trusting relationships with the people we support, we ask that you ideally pick up 1-2 shifts per week.
You'll support individuals living in their own homes in the community with disabilities and/or additional support needs. As a Support Practitioner, you will assist with all aspects of daily living including meal preparation, medication, going to appointments and activities, managing personal finances, support with moving and handling and personal care. As well as helping the people we support in their own homes, you’ll also provide emotional support and assist them to maintain relationships with family and friends.
The people we support enjoy being active in their communities, from arts and crafts to watching the football and going out for a tasty bite to eat, the list is endless. We also have a few people we support who volunteer or attend college. We’ll be looking to you to take an active interest in their hobbies and enable individuals to explore new opportunities.

Due to public transport not always coinciding with shifts it would be great if you had a full UK driving licence and access to a car, however this is not essential to join our team as a Bank Support Practitioner.
Shift Patterns
