Summary
We are recruiting for Support Practitioners to join our brand-new team in East Lothian.
If you’re good at seeing people as unique individuals with their own skills, opinions, and dreams then we currently have full-time, part-time (from 22.5 hrs) and relief opportunities for you to join our new, exciting team in East Lothian. This is an exciting opportunity for individuals with a passion for social care to aid in building our new supported living style service.
As a Support Practitioner you will support people with all aspects of daily living at home and in their communities. You will assist people with planning for their future and to prevent the effects of social isolation and loneliness in their lives. We adopt a person-centred approach to working with individuals who require support for a variety of reasons including Mental Health, Autism, Physical & Learning Disabilities.
Whilst experience is always welcome, full training (including SVQ qualifications) is provided alongside regular support and supervision from your Service Manager. The right values and motivation are essential; honesty, respect, empathy and compassion are key skills that are required in people who join our teams.
We are looking for candidates who are flexible to work a variety of shift patterns which can include Days, Evenings/Weekends & Sleepovers. Due to the nature of the service and the variable shifts, applicants should live within the local area or within a short commute.
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.
As a way of demonstrating how much we value you and your commitment we offer a range of great benefits:
- Anti-social hours enhancement of up to £1,241 per annum, when undertaking waking night shifts (11pm-7am)
- 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&C apply)
- Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and sick leave
- A Defined Contribution pension scheme, with incremental employer contributions
- Free Blue Light Card (giving access to thousands of discounts and promotions)
- Access to the Carr Gomm App: which includes free physiotherapy, health coaching and counselling.
- Membership of a credit union
- Cycle to work scheme; and more!
