Looking for a job where you can make a real difference every single day?

We're looking for enthusiastic and caring people to join our fantastic #TeamAngus in Portlethen as Support Practitioners.
Every day is different
Angus Court is a busy housing support service where no two days are ever the same.
You’ll become part of a friendly, supportive team helping seven individuals to live happy, fulfilling and as independent lives as possible.
As a Support Practitioner, you’ll support people with the things that matter in everyday life, including:
Shopping and managing finances
Cooking and preparing meals
Attending appointments
Housework and maintaining their homes
Personal care
Hobbies, interests and social activities
But it’s about so much more than day-to-day support. It’s about getting to know the people you support, building great relationships and helping them enjoy the things they love.
You’ll be encouraged to get involved in their interests and activities, whether that’s socialising, bowling, arts & crafts, watching soaps or heading out to discos! So, if you’re creative, enthusiastic and love getting involved, you could be a great fit for our team.
