Summary

Looking for a part-time job where you can genuinely make a difference to someone’s life?

If you're friendly, reliable, positive and enjoy helping others, we could have just the opportunity for you!

Our brilliant community support team in Cumbernauld are looking for new team members to join them on a permanent part-time basis (16-30 hours per week).

What does being a Support Practitioner mean?

You'll be joining a fantastic team of people who support individuals across the Cumbernauld area to live as independently as possible within their own homes and local communities, living their lives the way they choose.

You'll build a genuine relationship with each of the individuals and be part of moments that really matter; whether it's providing support to cook a meal, achieve a goal, try something new or just feel understood.

This could mean helping with:

🍳 Cooking and preparing meals

🧼 Personal care and daily living

💊 Administering medication

💷 Managing personal finances

🏊 Going swimming

🎳 Going bowling

🎉 Getting involved in community events

🎵 Attending clubs and enjoying hobbies

💙 And lots, lots more!

It's about much more than providing support — it's about getting to know the person, understanding what matters to them and helping them achieve their goals and enjoy life.

Why you'll love it here

You'll have a meaningful job doing things that you enjoy - it often doesn't feel like work

No uniform - we wear our own casual clothes

We fund up to £500 towards driving lessons

We reimburse your SSSC registration and PVG fees

Access to professional development and career progression opportunities

Recommend a colleague bonus scheme

Long service awards

Access to a 24/7 independent employee assistance helpline

26 days annual leave (rising by 5 days after 5 years) plus 4 paid bank holidays

Family friendly leave options, including family, parental, bereavement and special leave

Access to lots of discounts, including the cinema, gym memberships, holidays and shopping

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 out with 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.
