Description

Are you caring, reliable and friendly? Do you want to spend your days doing something rewarding? Do you want to work within a fantastic day support service?:

About the Role:

We have two exciting Support Practitioner vacancies at our Fife Adult Day/Outreach service in Touchbase Kirkcaldy. Currently offering 18 hours within our Day and 14 hours within our Outreach services.

Open 6 days a week between 8am and 5pm and we are looking for staff to work flexibly on our rota.

We are passionate about developing the people we support's outcomes and achievements in life we therefore require you to:

Work hard to develop and understand how each person communicates
Support individuals in their chosen activities and help them to develop new activities and relationships where possible
Support with personal care, eating and drinking and the administration of medication

About you:

In our Adult Day Service in Kirkcaldy what is important is that all our staff have a genuine passion to make a difference in the life of someone with additional support needs.

We are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, reliable, adaptable, have a strong work ethic and have a genuine passion for the work we deliver at Sense Scotland.

We are passionate about delivering the best quality of care, while achieving person centred outcomes and it's a real chance to make a difference daily in someone's life.

Some of the individuals we support might only be engaging with others by attending the Day Service.

This is their time and place to socialise and enjoy the hobbies they love, and we need to make sure this is a positive environment from the moment they enter the service until it is time for them to go home.

If you realise the importance of a smile, and the impact you could have by enabling the individuals we support to take part in something they love, then this is the role for you.

You might already have experience working within the health and social care sector and are looking for a better work life balance, you might be looking to change career and start your first role within social care.

Whatever your reason, we want to hear from you
