Are you on the lookout for a rewarding new job packed with satisfaction that you'd struggle to find anywhere else? We've got just the opportunity for you!
Our amazing #TeamSunnybank in Aberdeen are now on the lookout for caring, compassionate and flexible colleagues to join them as Support Practitioners on a permanent and relief basis. We have permanent contracts ranging from 16 - 39 hours per week.
The Role
You'll become part of a friendly, dedicated, fun team who supports three gentlemen and one lady with complex learning and physical disabilities who live in their own shared home. The great thing about this job is no two days are ever the same.
Your main aim will be supporting each individual with their day to day needs, including personal care, shopping, finances, cooking, housework and medication. You'll also support with each individual's hobbies and interests too, including music, films, in-house activities, going for walks, day trips, the cinema, swimming, discos and arts & crafts.
About You
You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and transferable skills. However, as the individuals we support do have barriers to communication, we will need you to bring an excellent grasp and understanding of spoken and written English.
We'll pay you for your training and will give you all the practical skills you'll need. We'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7) qualification and yearly SSSC registration fees too!
All we’ll need you to bring is:
* 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
* Confidence in the use of computers
* The ability to cook
Shift Patterns
As we're dedicated to providing around the clock support tailored to the needs of each individual, shift patterns do include early mornings, days, evenings, sleepovers, weekends and public holidays, so we will need you to be flexible.
Please note that for our contracted posts, we are unable to work around a university or college timetable.
Our sleepovers don't form part of your contracted hours meaning you will receive an additional payment of £96 for each sleepover that you work!
Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we can't wait to hear from you!
We are looking to fill these vacancies as soon as possible and reserve the right to close our advert early if we find suitable candidates before the closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
Have questions? Please contact Adele Craig on 07770908725.
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.
Please note - If you have spent more than 12 months outside the UK (excluding France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre-employment checks.
