Support Practitioner (Driver only)

Could you be our missing piece? If you\’re passionate about making a difference and looking for a career packed with job satisfaction, then we have a great opportunity for you!

Our fabulous #TeamAberlour is looking to complete their team and now recruiting for an understanding and enthusiastic individual with great chat to join them as a Support Practitioner supporting a young man with Autism in his own home.

The Role

As a Support Practitioner, you’ll play a crucial role in supporting with all aspects of daily living including support with housework, administration of medication, assistance with personal care and the management of personal finances. The young man we support enjoys living an active life and has a variety of hobbies including going for walks, out to the disco, drives in his car, listening to music and going bowling. We\’ll be looking to you to help identify new opportunities for participation and inclusion where he can achieve his personal goals and aspirations.

For this role we will need you to hold a full manual UK drivers licence with a year’s experience on the roads.

About You

We recruit on values and transferable skills, so you don\’t need experience in care as a Support Worker or qualifications to start your career with us. We have our own Training Academy that\’ll give you all the skills you\’ll need, including the opportunity to complete your SVQ.

• 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
• A creative drive to improve the lives of the individuals you support
• Confidence in the use of computers

We provide 24/7 tailored support; the pattern for this service can vary depending on the day. There are changes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday due to day service commitments for the young man. There are also sleepovers that will form part of your rota but there is additional pay for these shifts.
