Description

Do you like a more active type of lifestyle and ready for a new type of career pack full of job satisfaction? If you share our values and want to make a difference this could be what you are looking for

We're looking to build a team of motivated, understanding and enthusiastic
Support Practitioners supporting a young man with Autism in his own home in Irvine.

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.
We'll even fund your SVQ/SCQF qualifications and your yearly SSSC fee

The Role

As a Support Practitioner, you'll play a crucial role in supporting with all aspects of daily living including support with housework, administration of medication, assistance with personal care and the management of personal finances.

The young man we support enjoys living an active life and have a variety of hobbies include going for walks, out to the disco, drives in his car, listening to music and going bowling.

We'll be looking to you to help identify new opportunities for participation and inclusion where he can achieve his personal goals and aspirations.

A caring and compassionate attitude
