Support Practitioner

Are you caring, reliable and looking for a rewarding job where you can make a real difference?

Join our amazing #Team West Dun CS in Clydebank as a Support Practitioner, on a part-time (25 hours per week) basis. No previous experience is needed – we’ll provide you with all the training and support you need.

At Cornerstone, the people we support are at the heart of everything we do. You'll work alongside individuals to help them achieve their personal goals, make choices and live as independently as possible.

Every person is different, with their own interests, routines and ambitions. Your role will be to provide personalised support that helps people to:

• Manage their own homes and develop their independence
• Access personal care and support their health and wellbeing
• Enjoy hobbies, interests and meaningful activities
• Get out and about in their local community
• Work towards their individual goals and aspirations
• Build confidence and enjoy life on their own terms

• Kind, compassionate and positive people
• Reliable and committed
• A good communicator and team player
• Comfortable working independently
• Willing to learn and try new things
• Confident using technology and new systems
• Organised, with good administrative and numeracy skills
• Able to follow routines, policies and guidelines

Ideally, we are looking for a driver for this opportunity but it isn't a deal breaker for the right candidate.

Being a Support Practitioner is about much more than completing a shift. It's about building relationships, encouraging independence and helping someone enjoy a life that is meaningful to them.

There's no better feeling than heading home at the end of your shift knowing you've made a genuine difference to someone's life.
