As a support practitioner, your responsibilities will encompass providing assistance in our 24-hour housing support services, catering to individuals with diverse and complex support needs, some of whom may not communicate verbally.

In this role, you will engage in one-on-one interactions, aiding individuals in their day-to-day activities, fostering a positive and meaningful life, and guiding them towards the fulfilment of personal goals and ambitions, both within their homes and the broader community.

Our Pollok Service provides 24-hour support, 365 days of the year. You are required to work across seven days, which will include regular weekend work. We really need a flexible and committed approach to ensure consistency and stability for the people we support. Shifts are a mixture of early shifts (07.45 - 14.45) and late shifts (14.45 - 21.45) and a quota of sleep-over duties.
