Summary
We're now on the look out for our new future stars, so if you'd love a rewarding new role for 2026 that will bring satisfaction like no other, look no further as we have a great opportunity to join our fantastic #TeamRiddell in Clydebank as a *female Support Practitioner on a part-time (16-30 hours per week), permanent basis.
Our team and the individuals you'll support
You'll become part of a warm, friendly team supporting three ladies who have learning disabilities within their own home. The ladies all enjoy an active lifestyle, so you'll find yourself getting involved in dance classes, trips to the theatre and going out in their cars for day trips. The ladies also like to play board games, do arts & crafts, bake, watch movies and listen to music.
As a Support Practitioner, your main aim will be to support the ladies with their day to day living, which includes household chores, personal care, attending appointments, finances and medication.
About you
You don't need experience in care to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferrable skills. We'll pay you for your training and we'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) and yearly SSSC registration fees too.
The ladies we support have their own mobility cars, so for this particular role we will need you to hold a full UK, manual driving licence with a minimum of one years' experience on the roads.
To be a great Support Practitioner, we’ll need you to bring: -
A caring and compassionate attitude
The ability to work well in a team
Good communication and organisational skills
A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
Good administration skills
An understanding of the importance of following routines and guidelines
Confidence in the use of computers
Shift Patterns
Our team are dedicated to providing the best support possible 24/7. Shifts are a mix of early/day shift, back shift, waking nights and sleepovers. Weekends and public holidays will also form part of your rota on a rotational basis.
