Are you looking for a rewarding new job with satisfaction that’s hard to find elsewhere?
We have the perfect opportunity for you! Our amazing #TeamSunnybank in Aberdeen is seeking caring, compassionate, and flexible colleagues to join as Support Practitioners on a permanent and relief basis. Contract hours range from 16 to 39 hours per week.
The Role
You will be part of a friendly, dedicated, and fun team supporting three gentlemen and one lady with complex learning and physical disabilities in their shared home. No two days are the same!
Your main responsibilities include supporting individuals with daily needs such as personal care, shopping, finances, cooking, housework, and medication. You will also support their hobbies and interests, including music, films, activities, walks, trips, cinema, swimming, discos, and arts & crafts.
About You
No experience is necessary; we recruit based on values and transferable skills. Since the individuals have communication barriers, excellent spoken and written English is essential.
We will provide training, practical skills, and fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and SSSC registration fees. All you need to bring is:
* A caring and compassionate attitude
* The ability to work well in a team
* Good communication and organizational skills
* A positive attitude and willingness to learn
* Confidence in using computers
* The ability to cook
Shift Patterns
Support is provided around the clock, including early mornings, days, evenings, sleepovers, weekends, and public holidays. Flexibility is required.
Sleepovers are not part of contracted hours but are paid at an additional £100.80 per sleepover.
If interested, apply early as we aim to fill vacancies quickly and may close the advert early.
For questions, contact Adele Craig at 07770908725.
Successful candidates will need to join the PVG scheme and work towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare, supported by our Training Academy. Registration with the SSSC is required within 3 months of starting.
Cornerstone values diversity and encourages applications from all community sections.
