Looking for a new job with satisfaction and gives you a chance to shine? You're in luck as we're on the look out for a caring and motivated male* colleague for our #TeamAntonine in Chryston on a full-time basis.
The great thing about this job is that no two days are the same. This gentleman has a good sense of humour and enjoys a practical joke, so if you enjoy a bit of a laugh in your day, then this might just be the job for you!
The Role and the Individual You Will Support
You'll be joining our friendly and dedicated team who support an amazing gentleman with complex needs on a 2:1 basis.
As a Support Practitioner, you'll assist him with all aspects of daily living, including going to appointments, meal preparation, finances, housework and personal care (bathing and shaving). The gentleman is non-verbal and has limited communication, getting to know him will take a bit of time, however, you'll have a supportive, dedicated team around you and once you find your feet and get to know him, we're sure you'll find the role very rewarding.
The gentleman does have his own mobility car and really enjoys going out for a drive, we will need you to have a full UK manual driving license with a minimum of one years' experience on the roads.

Shift Patterns
We provide tailored care 24/7, so shifts will typically involve working a mixture of 0800-2000 hours or 2000-0800 hours (waking night). Weekends would also be part of your rota on a rotational basis so we will need you to be flexible.
