Description

Looking for a career with that feel good factor and live in or around Irvine? If you share our values then we can give you the skills you need to become a first class
Support Practitioner.


Our amazing #TeamLoudoun are on the look out for a fun and friendly *female colleague with a good sense of humour and caring nature to join their team as a Support Practitioner on a part-time (30 hours), permanent basis.


We recruit on values and transferrable skills, so you don't need experience or qualifications to start your career with us.

We have our own Training Academy that'll give you all the skills you'll need, including the opportunity to complete your SVQ.


The Role
The great thing about this job is that no two days are ever the same.

Our team supports two ladies who are young at heart and enjoy a variety of activities including going on holiday.

We are looking for people who'll be enthusiastic about participating and supporting with hobbies and interests including listening to music, attending discos (both ladies like to be wheeled round the dance floor), going to the theatre and cinema along with a bit of shopping.

The ladies both have their own cars and love going out for drives so for this position it is essential that you hold a full UK manual driving licence.


As a Support Practitioner, you'll assist with all aspects of daily living including meal planning, cooking, housework, support to appointments, administrating medication and full personal care.

Both the ladies use wheelchairs so there will be aspects of moving and handling along with use of tracking hoists.

One of the ladies requires support to eat during mealtimes.

All we'll need you to bring is;

  • A great listener with great communication skills.
  • A caring attitude and approach.
  • A positive approach to learning.
  • Always seek to go above and beyond what's expected.
  • Confidence in the use of technology.
  • Full manual driving licence (minimum of 1 years experience)

Shift Pattern


As we're dedicated to providing around the clock support tailored to the needs of the ladies, shifts usually fall into patterns of hours or hours, 7 days a week and include sleepovers which are
paid on top of your hours at £96 per shift.
