Looking for a job with satisfaction you'd struggle to find anywhere else? If you share our values and want to make a difference then look no further, we've got the perfect opportunity for you!
Our amazing #TeamGlebe in Cowdenbeath are on the lookout for an active individual who loves getting out and about to join them as a Support Practitioner on a part-time (16 hours per week basis).
The Role
You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team who provide support to two amazing gentlemen within their shared home. Your main aim will be supporting their day to day personal needs, including meal planning, cooking, housework, shopping and medication.
As both men enjoy an active social life within the local community, we would be looking for you to be enthusiastic about participating and supporting them with their hobbies and interests including going out for meal, clothes shopping, discos, swimming, walks and going on the bus for day trips.
About you
You don't need experience as a Support Worker or qualifications 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!
As the gentlemen both have their own mobility cars, we are ideally looking for someone who has a full UK driving license with at least 1 year of experience on the roads, however this isn't a dealbreaker for the right candidate.
What we need you to bring:-
- A caring attitude and approach
- Good at communication skills
- An understanding of the important of following guidelines and routines
- A positive approach to learning
- Confidence in the use of computers
- The ability to cook
- Confidence to go in the water as swimming is a regular activity
Shift Patterns
Our dedicated team provide 24/7 care tailored to the needs of the gentlemen they support, shifts fall within the hours of 0700-2200 hours and will include sleepovers on a rotational basis. Our sleepover shift would usually involve working 0700-0715 hours the next day.
Our sleepovers do not form part of your contracted hours, you will receive an additional £96 payment for each sleepover that you work!
