Sense Scotland Forfar service in Angus is looking to recruit people who are adaptable, enthusiastic, motivated and caring to join our small team who provide 24 hour care and support to 4 adults living within their own homes.
As a full time Support Practitioner (37 hours per week), you will be expected to work weekends, shift patterns, and waking nightshifts.
The Forfar service is set in an idyllic location with a large communal space both inside and outdoors where you can support the individuals to be as creative as they wish. We are a small team who put the people we support at the heart of the service.
All of the people supported need assistance with all aspects of their life, which includes either full support with personal care or prompting with personal care, support with cooking or prompting to cook meals, general household tasks, shopping, and attending appointments. They also require support to attend all their activities and need full support to participate in some of these, e.g., swimming.
Some individuals have complex communication needs, and we use different communication methods to meet their needs. The individuals we support all have a range of different sensory impairments, including sight and hearing impairments.
We also require staff to be able to carry out moving and assisting tasks, as we have one individual who uses a wheelchair, and we also act as sighted guides for the people we support.
Please note: Relief contracts are also available. A driving licence is preferred but not essential.
