Support Practitioner (Female only) - Dundee

Looking for a new job with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? You're in luck as our amazing #TeamBlackwood are now on the look out for a bubbly, friendly and flexible new *female colleague to join them in Dundee on a permanent full-time (39 hours per week) basis.

The Role

You'll become part of a fun, friendly team who provide support to two amazing ladies with complex support needs within their own residential setting.

The great thing about this job it that no two days are ever the same. As a Support Practitioner, you'll support both ladies with their day to day personal needs, including meal planning, cooking, housework, personal care, moving and assisting and medication.

With both ladies enjoying being part of their local community, we're looking for you to be enthusiastic about participating and supporting them with their hobbies and interests which include arts & crafts, day trips, baking, swimming and going for walks.

About you

Here at Cornerstone, we recruit on Values and transferrable skills; we're more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team. We'll pay you for your training and will even fund your SVQ qualification too!

As both ladies have their own mobility car, we are ideally looking for someone who has a full driving license, however, this isn't a deal breaker for the right candidate.

All we’ll need you to bring is: -

• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Good communication and organisational skills
• A positive approach to learning
• Confidence in the use of computers​​​​​​

Shift Patterns

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

Interested in hearing more? Call Erin Torrie on 07825050089.

Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we're waiting to hear from you!

We are looking to fill this vacancy as soon as possible, so reserve the right to close our advert early if we find a suitable candidate before the closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.

​​​​​​​Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and have a commitment to working towards a SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy.

If you’re successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 6 months of starting your employment with us.
