Support Practitioner - Coatbridge & Bellshill

Looking for a role that is rewarding and gives you the satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else?

We're now on the lookout for reliable and motivated individuals who have a great sense of humour to join our amazing #TeamNLCS, covering the Bellshill and Coatbridge areas on a permanent (16-35 hours per week) basis.

The Role

You'll join our dedicated team providing support to different gentlemen who live both within their own or family homes. This particular role will mostly involve supporting a gentleman who is in his 40's. He enjoys going to the cinema, the gym and has a keen interest in football playing an active part in wheelchair football at Celtic Park. In addition to these activities, the gentleman loves being out and about and enjoys going on the train for days out. He also enjoys his yearly holidays to a lodge in Blackpool and some celebrity spotting!

As well as supporting with hobbies and interests, you'll also help with meal planning, cooking, housework, going to appointments, personal care and medication.

You don't need experience to start your career with us, we recruit on values and transferrable skills. 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 and yearly SSSC registration fees too!

What we need you to bring;

• A full UK, manual driving licence (minimum of 1 years' driving experience)
• Good communication skills
• A caring attitude and approach
• A positive approach to learning
• Confidence in the use of computers
