We're looking for enthusiastic, caring and reliable new colleagues to join our amazing #TeamBerrybank in Maud!
We have opportunities available on a permanent part-time basis (16 or 20 hours per week), as well as relief positions if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.
You’ll become part of a fun, friendly and supportive team providing personalised support to six individuals living within our housing support service. Each person has their own unique needs, interests and goals, making every day different and rewarding.
What the job will involve
At Cornerstone, the people we support are at the heart of everything we do. You'll work alongside individuals to help them achieve their personal goals, make choices and live as independently as possible.
Every person is different, with their own interests, routines and ambitions. Your role will be to provide personalised support that helps people to:
🏡 Manage their own homes and develop their independence
💙 Access personal care and support their health and wellbeing
🎨 Enjoy hobbies, interests and meaningful activities
🌳 Get out and about in their local community
🎯 Work towards their individual goals and aspirations
😊 Build confidence and enjoy life on their own terms
What we're looking for - what matters most
No experience, don't worry, we're more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team.
We'll give you full training, pay you for your training and provide a supportive team around you every step of the way. We'll also fund your SVQ (SCQF Level 6/7) qualification and your PVG and SSSC registration fees.
- Kind, compassionate and positive people
- Reliable and committed
- A good communicator and team player
- Comfortable working independently
- Willing to learn and try new things
- Confident using technology and new systems
- Organised, with good administrative and numeracy skills
- Able to follow routines, policies and guidelines
More than just a job
Being a Support Practitioner is about much more than completing a shift. It's about building relationships, encouraging independence and helping someone enjoy a life that is meaningful to them.
There's no better feeling than heading home at the end of your shift knowing you've made a genuine difference to someone's life.

Shift patterns
We provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shift patterns fall in to earlies, lates and sleepovers. Weekends, sleepovers and public holidays would form part of your rota on a rotational basis.
😴 Sleepover payments
Our sleepovers are separate from your contracted hours, so you’ll receive an additional payment of £107.60 for every sleepover you work - giving you the opportunity to earn extra alongside your contracted hours.
