Support Practitioner - Aberdeen

Our amazing #TeamSunnybank are now on the lookout for caring, compassionate and dedicated colleagues to join them on a permanent (up to 39 hours per week) basis.

The Role

You'll become part of a friendly, dedicated, fun team who supports four gentlemen with complex learning and physical disabilities who live in their own shared home. The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same.

Your main aim will be supporting each gentleman with their day to day needs, including personal care, shopping, finances, cooking, housework and medication. You'll also support with their hobbies and interests too, including music, films, in-house activities, going for walks, day trips, the cinema, swimming, discos and arts & crafts.

About You

You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferrable skills. We'll pay you for your training and will give you all the practical skills you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ qualification too!

​​​​​​​All we’ll need you to bring is;

• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Great communication and organisational skills
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
• A creative drive to improve the lives of the individuals you support
• Confidence to get in the water as swimming is a regular activity
• The ability to cook, baking is a bonus too
• Confidence in the use of technology

Shift Patterns

As we're dedicated to providing around the clock support tailored to the needs of each individual, shift patterns include early mornings, days, evenings, sleepovers, weekends and public holidays.

Typically, you will work 2-4 sleepovers per month. Sleepovers do not form part of your contracted hours meaning you will receive an additional payment of £84 for each sleepover that you work!

Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we can't wait to hear from you!
