Job description

Passionate about making a real difference and looking for that job satisfaction you deserve? If you share our values and love getting out and about then this might just be the role for you!
Our fabulous #TeamHerries have an exciting opportunity for creative, caring *female colleague who loves a good chat to join our them as a Support Practitioner.
You don't need previous experience in care as a Support Worker or qualifications to start your career with us, we recruit on values and transferrable skills. We'll pay you for your training and give you all the skills you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) and SSSC yearly registration fees too!

The Role

You will be joining a small, dedicated team of Support Practitionerproviding a twenty-four-hour housing support service to three fun loving and chatty ladies in Pollokshaws. The people we support have learning disabilities and other complex health and support needs; one of the ladies requires a wheelchair to get around. The service has a charming sensory garden and is situated in a lovely area on the Southside of Glasgow and close to several beautiful green spaces, which the people we support enjoy visiting.
With a focus on maintaining and promoting independence, you will work in a person-centred way to provide support in all aspects of daily living, including personal care, cooking and helping them to take care of their home. You’ll provide emotional support and companionship, and enable them to pursue their hobbies and interests, which include reading and music, anime, karaoke, going to the gym and swimming. They'd love for you to support them find more fun and interesting things to try!
There's never a dull moment with #TeamHerries as the ladies we support are very sociable and enjoy getting out and about, not to mention a tasty bite or a bit of retail therapy.


To be a great Support Practitioner, you will be:

  • a naturally empathetic person with a warm, friendly personality
  • a good listener with great communication skills
  • able to build and maintain positive, respectful relationships with different people
  • a problem-solver and able to think on your feet and use your initiative
  • upbeat, energetic with a positive, can-do attitude
  • reliable and flexible to meet the needs of the people we support


Shift Patterns

Our team provides support twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, following a rolling rota. If you’re successful in joining our team, your rota will include a combination of longer and shorter day shifts and sleepovers; for example, 8.00 am to 5.30 pm, 8.00 am to 8.30 pm and 8.00 am to 8.00 am sleepover. You’ll be expected to work weekends and public holidays as part of your rota.

We will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.
