Support Practitioner - Waking Night (Longside)

Calling night owls! If you're looking to start a new night shift job with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as we're looking for a new waking night *female colleague to join our amazing #TeamParkvale in Longside on a part-time (20 or 25 hours per week) basis!

Shift Patterns

This role will involve working two Waking Night shifts per week and will include weekends and public holidays on a rotational basis. Waking night shifts are paid at a normal hourly rate, plus an additional payment of £20 per night.

Although the majority of the time you will work a waking night shift, we will also need you to have an element of flexibility to attend training and build relationships with the individuals we support during the day, so occasional day shifts will form part of your rota.

The Role

Your role will be to provide support throughout the night to five wonderful individuals with physical and learning difficulties. Although working as part of our wider team, this role will mainly involve lone working.

Your main aim will be to ensure that the individuals we support have access to support and assistance during the night if needed. In addition to providing support, your responsibilities will include maintaining a high level of cleanliness, ironing, health & safety checks, managing finances and administrative support.

About You

You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and we'll give you all the training you'll need if you're successful. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too! However, for this opportunity we will need you to have a driving license and access to your own vehicle due to the rural location of our service.

What we will need you to bring: -;

• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Good communication and organisational skills
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
• Confidence in the use of computers
• A full driving license and access to your own vehicle
