We are recruiting for Relief Support Practitioners to join our brand-new team in East Lothian.
If you’re good at seeing people as unique individuals with their own skills, opinions, and dreams then we currently have relief opportunities for you to join our new, exciting team in Fa’side and our team in Windygoul.
As a Relief Support Practitioner you will support people with all aspects of daily living at home and in their communities. You will assist people with planning for their future and to prevent the effects of social isolation and loneliness in their lives. We adopt a person-centred approach to working with individuals who require support for a variety of reasons including Mental Health, Autism, Physical & Learning Disabilities.
Whilst experience is always welcome, full training is provided alongside regular support and supervision from your Service Manager. The right values and motivation are essential; honesty, respect, empathy and compassion are key skills that are required in people who join our teams.
We are looking for candidates who are flexible to work a variety of shift patterns which can include Days, Evenings/Weekends & Sleepovers. Our Relief Support Practitioner role allows you to have the flexibility to pick and choose shifts around other commitments you may have in your life. All we ask is that you are able to complete your training requirements and work with us on a regular basis. Some examples of the shifts typically available at our services are 7am until 3pm, 12.30pm until 8.30pm, 1.30pm until 9.30pm and 9,15pm until 7.30am.
Due to the nature of the service and the variable shifts, applicants should live within the local area or within a short commute.
We welcome applications from any candidates already eligible to work in the UK or those that can apply for a visa granting permission to work in the UK (e.g. dependent visas, ancestry etc.) that do not require sponsorship from Carr Gomm. You will be asked to share proof of this prior to receiving any offer of employment. It is currently our policy not to offer sponsorship for prospective candidates.
