It's a really exciting time for #TeamDundee! We’re currently preparing to open our brand new housing support service, which means we're now on the lookout for caring, motivated and reliable colleagues to join us. We have various permanent full-time or part-time (16-39 hours per week) and relief opportunities available.
The Role
The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same. You'll become part of a dedicated team who supports individuals with Autism to live in their own homes. Their homes are all situated in the same housing support complex, so there will be no travel to other support locations while on shift.
As a Support Practitioner, you’ll assist the individuals with all aspects of daily living including cooking, housework, shopping, medication and finances. You’ll also support with their hobbies and interests too. Your support will play a huge part in helping them to reach their goals and play an active part in their local community.
About you
Although it would be great if you already have knowledge and understanding of Autism, 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 (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
What we need you to bring:-
A caring attitude and approach
Good at communication skills
An understanding of the important of following guidelines and routines
A positive approach to learning
Confidence in the use of computers
The ability to cook
Confidence in going in the water as swimming will be a regular activity
Shift Patterns
As we're dedicated to providing around the clock support tailored to the needs of each individual, shift patterns will involve early mornings, days, evenings and weekends, sleepovers, waking nights and public holidays on a rotational basis.
For these opportunities, we are unfortunately unable to work our rotas for our contracted posts around a university or college timetable.
A job at Cornerstone is more than just a job. You'll make a difference every day, be part of a great team, learn lots of new skills and be encouraged and inspired to reach your potential. What are you waiting for? Apply today! We'd love to hear from you.
We are looking to fill these vacancies as soon as possible, so reserve the right to close our advert early if we find suitable candidates before the closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an 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 3 months of starting your employment with us.
Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
