Support Practitioner (Dunfermline)

Are you on the look out for a new part-time job for 2025 with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as our amazing #TeamDrum in Dunfermline are now on the look out for a new caring, patient and flexible colleagues to join them on a permanent (18-30 hours per week) basis. We also have relief opportunities too if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.

The Role

The great thing about this job is that no two days are ever the same. You'll become part of a friendly, supportive team who support four amazing ladies who have profound and complex needs. Your base will be within the ladies' fully adapted, purpose built home in Dunfermline, which is complete with ceiling hoists and adaptive technology.

As a Support Practitioner, you'll assist with all aspects of the ladies' daily living, including going to appointments, meal preparation, finances and housework. Three of the ladies do use wheelchairs, so you will provide support with all aspects of their personal care too. The ladies are all non-verbal and have limited communication, so getting to know them will take time but once you do, you'll find the job and their company so rewarding.

Our team enjoy encouraging the ladies to live a valued life and get the opportunity to have a variety of experiences. They plan lots of days out and arrange a number of activities in their home, from arts and crafts to alpaca visits.

The ladies have their own mobility cars so it would be great if you have a full, clean manual UK driving licence, but this isn’t a deal breaker for the right candidate.
