Here at The Richmond Fellowship Scotland we are currently looking to recruit Support Practitioners for our Shotts services!

Due to the nature of the service we can only accept applications from female candidates who have a valid UK driving licence and access to their own vehicles. You will be paid for your travel during your shift and there is a fuel allowance of 40p per mile.

We support individuals with a variety of different needs such as physical and/or learning disabilities, mental health, alcohol or substance abuse and autism. Some of the people we support can present challenging behaviour or require a high level of personal care.

As a Support Practitioner you could be expected to work weekends, shift patterns and sleepovers if required.

There are a range of benefits to working with TRFS which include:

-TRFS rewards scheme (which includes cash-back and discounts at a variety of high street and online retailers)

-Continuous in-house training opportunities and chances to further your career in social care.

-Refer a Friend scheme- £150 reward for successfully referring a friend, family member or colleague.

-Free Membership of Glasgow Credit Union.

-HSF Health Care plan.

-Counselling & Life Works service.

On top of these excellent practical benefits the biggest benefit of all is the immense job satisfaction you will gain by making a positive difference in someone`s life.

What matters most is that you have the right values and the right attitude.

All successful applicants will be given a conditional offer- this is subject to the receipt of satisfactory references, PVG and a Covid-19 related risk assessment.

Please apply below and let The Richmond Fellowship Scotland work with you to progress your career and help provide the best possible care and support to the individuals we support.

Closing Date – 3rd February 2022 (We reserve the right to close this vacancy at any time)

Schedule 9 Part 1 (1)(1)(a) of the Equality Act 2010 applies to this post.

PVG checks will be required of all successful applicants; having a conviction will not necessarily debar you from working in this sector.

All new staff members will be required to register with the SSSC within 6 months of their start date.
