Support Practitioner (Aberdeen)

Looking for a rewarding new part-time job with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else?

Based in Aberdeen, our amazing #TeamBackHilton are on the lookout for caring, reliable and hardworking new colleagues on a part-time (20 hours per week), permanent basis.

The Role

You'll become part of one of our friendly and dedicated teams who supports individuals with physical and/or learning disabilities who 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 each individual with their day to day needs, including shopping, finances, cooking, housework, personal care and medication. You'll also provide support with their hobbies and interests too, including music, arts & crafts and activities and walks out in their local community.

About you

Here at Cornerstone, we don't recruit on experience and qualifications; we're more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team! We'll pay you for your training and give you all the practical skills you'll need to build an amazing career within the Health & Social Care sector. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!

For this opportunity, we are ideally looking for someone with a full UK driving license with at least 1 years' experience on the roads as some of the people we support do have mobility cars.

All we’ll need you to bring is:-

• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Good communication and organisational skills
• An excellent grasp of the English language (written & spoken)
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
• Confidence in the use of computers

Shift Patterns

As we're dedicated to providing around the clock support tailored to the needs of each individual, our services do support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shift patterns will involve early mornings (from 0700 hours), days and evenings. Weekends, public holidays and sleepovers will also form part of your rota on a rotational basis.

Our sleepovers don’t form part of your contracted hours, so you will receive an additional payment of £96 for every sleepover shift 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 these vacancies as soon as possible so reserve the right to close our advert early if we find suitable candidates 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.

Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
