Support Practitioner Stonehaven

Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

Job Description


Looking to start your 2024 with a new part-time job packed with satisfaction you\'d struggle to find anywhere else? You\'re in luck as our fantastic #TeamPollaine in Stonehaven are looking for a new caring, enthusiastic and flexible colleague to join them as a Support Practitioner on a 16 hours per week, permanent basis.

The Role

You\'ll become part of a friendly, fun team who supports a lady and gentleman to live in their own shared home. The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same. Your main aim will be supporting with their day to day needs which involves personal care, shopping, finances, cooking, housework and medication.

The individuals we support are a very sociable duo and enjoy being part of their local community; some of their hobbies and interests which include bowling, swimming, preparing home cooked meals, going to discos, the theatre and out for walks. As both individuals have their own Motability cars and love going for drive, it would be great if you hold a full UK, manual driving license but this isn\'t a deal breaker for the right candidates.

About you

You don\'t need experience in care as a Support Worker to start your career with us; 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!

All we\'ll need you to bring is: -

  • Good listening and communication skills
  • A caring attitude and approach
  • Confidence to go in the water as swimming is a regular activity
  • A positive approach to learning
  • Good team working skills along with the ability to work on your own initiative
  • Confidence in the use of computers
  • A driving license and access to your own vehicle if you don\'t live within the Stonehaven locality
Shift Patterns

We\'re dedicated to providing around the clock support that is tailored to the needs of each individual, so shift patterns will include early mornings, days, evenings, weekends, public holidays and sleepovers. Our typical shift patterns will usually fall between the hours of 0830-2130 hours and will also involve sleepover shifts of 1500-1000 or 1330 hours the following day on a rotational basis.

The sleepover part of your shift isn\'t included in your contracted hours, so you will receive an additional payment of \xc2\xa387 for every sleepover you work.

Please note that we are unable to work this contracted post around a university or college timetable.

Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we can\'t wait to hear from you!

We are looking to fill this vacancy as soon as possible and reserve the right to close our advert early if we find suitable a candidate before the closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.

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.
