Summary
Make a Positive Impact in Your Community
Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference in people’s lives? Join Carr Gomm as a Part-Time Support Practitioner in our Badenoch & Strathspey Home Respite service, and help provide essential breaks for unpaid carers while supporting individuals to remain in the comfort of their own homes.
Why Carr Gomm?
We are one of Scotland’s leading social care and support charities. Every day, we help people work toward their goals and live independently with dignity and respect. Our Home Respite service offers short-term care to individuals, allowing their carers time to rest and recharge.
We believe in working with people, not for them—encouraging choice, empowerment, and positive relationships. You’ll join a knowledgeable and passionate team, backed by strong training, expert colleagues, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
No Experience? No Problem.
If you’re new to social care but share our values—compassion, respect, integrity, and inclusion—we’ll provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive in the role.
If you have care experience, we’ll value your knowledge and help you grow further.
What We’re Looking For
• Caring, reliable individuals who want to make a difference
• Drivers preferred, due to rural travel
We welcome applications from any candidates already eligible to work in the UK or those that can apply for a visa granting permission to work in the UK (e.g. dependent visas, ancestry etc.) that do not require sponsorship from Carr Gomm. You will be asked to share proof of this prior to receiving any offer of employment. It is currently our policy not to offer sponsorship for prospective candidates.
What You’ll Receive
• Anti-social hours payment of up to £1209 per annum when undertaking waking night shift (11pm-7am)
• Time and a half payment for hours worked over 37.5 hours per week (averaged over the pay period)
• Enhanced mileage payment of 45p per mile
• 35 days’ holiday per year, increasing to 40 days with length of service.
• £200 Recommend a Friend Scheme (T&Cs apply).
