Support Practitioner - Lossiemouth

Our amazing #TeamParkholme in Lossiemouth are on the lookout for an outgoing and compassionate new colleague with a positive nature to join them as a ​​​​​​​Support Practitioner ​​​​​​​on a part-time (20 hours per week) basis. We also have relief contracts available if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.​​​​​​​

The Role

You'll become part of a friendly, dedicated, fun team who supports six adults with learning and physical disabilities to 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 individual with their day to day needs, including personal care, shopping, finances, cooking, housework and medication.

You'll also support the individuals with their hobbies and interests too, including music, films, in-house activities and arts & crafts. As all of the individuals love to get out and be part of their local community, you’ll also find yourself getting involved in activities like swimming, ten pin bowling and horse riding, meals out and going for walks.

• 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 in the use of computers.

Shift Patterns

As we're dedicated to providing the best support, tailored to the needs of each individual shift patterns usually fall within the hours of 0730-2200 hours and will include weekend and public holiday working on a rotational basis.
