Support Practitioner

Are you on the look out for a rewarding, flexible new job? Look no further as our relief team is growing in Banff, so we're now on the look out for caring and reliable people to join us.

You’ll join a warm, welcoming and friendly team and the great thing about this job is that no two days are ever the same.

As a member of our relief team, you’ll help us to make sure that we can continue to deliver excellent care and support to a gentleman who has autism and mobility challenges during times of colleague annual leave, training and absence.

You’ll help this gentleman with all aspects of daily living, including going to appointments, personal care, shopping, cooking, housework and medication. You’ll also find yourselves getting involved in many of his hobbies and interests too, which include going for walks, attending coffee mornings, Snoezelen and various community events.

We’re looking for people who are passionate about making a difference to the lives of others. We recruit on values and transferrable skills, so you don't need experience or qualifications to start your career with us. We'll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills that you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification too!

• A positive approach to learning
• Confidence in the use of computers

• A full UK driving licence with a minimum of 1 years' experience on the roads as this gentleman does have his own mobility car
