Support Practitioner

On the look out for a brand new job filled with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as we're looking for people like you to join our amazing #TeamRiddrie in Glasgow. We have full-time, part-time and relief opportunities available.
The Role

As a Support Practitioner, you'll support and assist two amazing brothers who have Autism. You'll support the gentlemen on both a 2:1 and lone working basis with all aspects of their daily living, including cooking and preparing meals, personal care, administering medication and managing personal finances. We're also looking for you to be enthusiastic and creative when supporting with their hobbies. This can include things like going to watch Celtic, going for walks, watching their favourite TV shows and playing video games as well as some pranks!
It would be great if you have a full UK, manual driving licence with at least one years' experience on the road as the gentlemen have their own car but this isn’t a deal breaker for the right candidates!

About you
Although it would be great if you do have experience in care, it's not essential as we recruit on values and transferrable skills. We'll pay you for your training and will even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
What we'll need you to bring: -

• Good, clear communication skills (both verbal and written)
• A caring attitude
• Respect for boundaries and people's homes
• A positive approach to learning
• An understanding of the importance of routines and following guidelines
• Confidence in the use of computers

The people we support do have barriers to their communication, so it's essential that you bring an excellent grasp of the English language.

Shift Patterns

As we're dedicated to providing the best support that is tailored to the needs of each individual, these opportunities will involve working early mornings, days and evenings. Waking nights, weekends and public holidays would also form part of your rota on a rotational basis.
You will be paid an additional supplement of £20 per night for every waking night shift you work.
Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we can't wait to hear from you.
Have any questions? If you'd like to find out more, please contact Claire Alexander on 07827356774.
Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy. If you're successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.
Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
