Are you an animal lover who likes to make a difference?
We’re looking for a caring, patient and fun-loving female to join our friendly #TeamKinross team, supporting an amazing young lady to live independently, enjoy her interests and get the most out of everyday life.
A little bit about her
She’s a big animal lover, so if you enjoy spending time around horses, getting outdoors and being around animals, you’ll have plenty in common! She also enjoys walking, gardening, knitting, music, shopping, films and, a good chat and a laugh.
There’s a much-loved cat in the household too, so being comfortable around animals is important.
About you
You don't need previous experience. If you're kind, compassionate and ready to learn, you're already half way there, we'll give you the training, encouragement and support you'll need to be a great Support Practitioner.
We'll need you to be:
💗 Kind, caring and compassionate
😊 Positive, approachable and happy to get involved
🤝 Supportive team players who enjoy working with others
🌱 Open to learning, growing and trying new things
✨ Ready to make a genuine difference
💻 Comfortable using computers and tablets
A full driving licence would be useful, but isn’t essential for the right person.
🕒 What will my shifts look like?
Working 11 hours per week will usually be one shift per week, which may include a sleepover. Weekends and public holidays are shared on a rota.
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.
This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to make a real difference while doing something meaningful.
You’ll also receive:
- Funded qualifications & ongoing career development
- SSSC registration and PVG fees paid
- Up to £500 towards driving lessons
- No uniform - wear your own clothes
- Employee discounts, including shopping, cinema, holidays & gyms
- 24/7 employee support
- Long-service awards & colleague referral bonuses
So if you're looking for a fresh start, returning to work, changing careers or simply wanting a job that gives you more than just a payslip. Whatever your story, we're keen to hear from you!
Apply today - we can’t wait to meet you!
