Looking for a flexible role that fits around your schedule and packed with job satisfaction? If you share our values and ready to make a difference, then look no further!
Based in Paisley, our fabulous Rowan Wynd and new service are expanding their Bank pool and on the lookout for compassionate and creative individuals with a positive attitude to join them as Bank Support Practitioners. Our bank contracts will give you flexibility over the days and hours you work, tell us when you're available and we'll look to give you shifts to fit.
