A Role That Truly Matters

This is more than a support worker role. It's an opportunity to make a genuine difference in someone's life every day.

You'll provide person-centred support that promotes independence, dignity and choice, helping the individual you support enjoy life, achieve personal goals and remain connected to their community.

Working as part of a dedicated team, you'll build meaningful relationships and play an important role in helping someone live the life they choose.

We are looking for two caring, fun loving Support Practitioners to support a young lady in their own home and to ensure they maintain independence and their active social life in the local area of Kirkhill.

This is a ONE to ONE support package, requiring two Support Practitioners to share the shifts across 21hrs a week, over Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

This is a highly rewarding role which can also be challenging at times, so it is important that applicants are confident in following structured routines, setting clear and positive professional boundaries and remaining calm, patient and consistent.

• Building positive, trusting relationships and providing emotional support
• Encouraging participation in hobbies, interests and community activities
• Following individual support plans and promoting positive outcomes
• Working closely with colleagues, families and healthcare professionals
• Maintaining accurate records and contributing to a safe, supportive environment
• Supporting the individual's physical, emotional and social wellbeing
• Providing high-quality support in line with Highland Home Carers' values and standards

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Is caring, compassionate and reliable
• Enjoys building positive relationships with others
• Has patience, empathy and a good sense of humour
• Is confident, resilient and able to remain calm in different situations
• Wants to make a genuine difference to someone's life
• Works well as part of a team
• Is willing to learn and undertake training
• Shares Highland Home Carers' values and commitment to person-centred support
• Is enthusiastic, positive and motivated to support others

• Full & valid UK Driving Licence is required (the individual has her own vehicle)
• Willingness to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC)
• Commitment to undertaking training and professional development

Previous care experience is welcomed but not essential. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

Overseas Applicants (Please note)

As this role is Part Time - it is therefore not suitable for overseas applicants.

More Than a Job. A Career With Purpose.

Working in care isn't always easy, but it is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose.

Every shift provides an opportunity to make a lasting difference, helping someone maintain their independence, achieve their goals and enjoy the best possible quality of life.
