Support Practitioner - Coatbridge

Looking for a new job packed with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as we're now on the look out for caring and reliable individuals to join our amazing #TeamNLSL based in Coatbridge on a full-time, part-time and relief basis.
The Role
The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same. You'll become part of one of our dedicated housing support teams who supports individuals with disabilities and additional support needs to live in their own or shared homes.
As a Support Practitioner, you’ll assist the individuals with all aspects of daily living including cooking, housework, shopping, medication and finances. You’ll also support with their hobbies and interests too, some of these include music, arts & crafts, going for walks and exploring new places. Your support will play a huge part in helping them to reach their goals and play an active part in their local community. Some of people we support enjoy going swimming often so being a confident swimmer due to this is helpful.
A full, clean drivers licence would be a benefit as some of the people we support have their own mobility car and enjoy going out for drives but this isn't essential!
About you
For these opportunities, we're ideally looking for people who have experience in caring or supportive role and have confidence to manage behaviours that can challenge. However, you will undergo comprehensive training for the specific team you'd be working in. We will also need you to hold a full, clean driving licence with a minimum of a year on the road, as the people we support have their own mobility cars.
If you don't already have your qualification in Health & Social Care, we'll fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and we'll also pay your yearly SSSC registration fees too!
What we need you to be:-
Positive, caring and compassionate
Honest, reliable and trustworthy
Good at communicating and listening
A good team player, but also confident to work on your own initiative
Confident in the use of computers

Shift Patterns
As we're dedicated to providing support tailored to the needs of each individual, shift patterns in these particular services will usually involve working 0900-1730, 0900-1830 and 0800-2200 hours and will involve working weekends and public holidays on a rotational basis, so we will need you to be flexible.
A job at Cornerstone is more than just a job. You'll make a difference every day, be part of a great team, learn lots of new skills and be encouraged and inspired to reach your potential. What are you waiting for? Apply today! We'd love to hear from you.
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.
