St Andrews
Due to the nature of the role, we can only consider male candidates that hold a full manual UK driving licence.
The Richmond Fellowship Scotland makes a real difference in supporting people with their everyday lives. We have an exciting opportunity to join our service based in St Andrews as Support Practitioner on a permanent, full-time basis (39 hours per week). The service supports service users suffering from mental health and dementia, assisting them with every day task, such as personal care and meal prep, as well as supporting with visits to appointments and places of interest.
Experience of supporting individuals with autism in particular is preferred, but not essential as full training by our award-winning learning and development team is provided. This training initially consists of classroom-based sessions and e-learning as well as the opportunity to be at the start of the journey of an exciting new service where you will shadow current Support Practitioners in their day-to-day role and meet the people you will be supporting. We are actively looking for staff that have the right values who want to make a positive difference in a person's life. Our staff promote independence in a recovery based model of support.
