Begin a career in a role where you can really make a difference and banish those Monday blues!!

We’re expanding in Cumbernauld and on the lookout for active and person-centred colleagues with experience of supporting individuals who have complex needs such as autism, behaviours that challenge.

Our fabulous #TeamNLCSCumbernauld have 36 hour contracts available which can be worked across 7 days or condensed into 2.5 days with an average of two sleepovers a week. Our sleepover shifts do not form part of your contracted hours, so you will receive an additional payment of £105 per sleepover .

For these roles we will need you to hold a full, manual UK driving licence.Access to a car would be great but this is not essential as many of the people we support have their own vehicles.

The Role

You’ll become part of a friendly, fun team who support young men with complex care needs in their own homes on a 24/7 basis.

As a Support Practitioner you’ll play a crucial role in supporting these individuals with all aspects of daily living, including cooking, personal care, managing personal finances, assisting with medication, attending appointments and supporting managers with care plans and relevant documentation. You will support them individuals with their hobbies and interests which include community involvement, walking, drives in the countryside, going swimming, exercising, listening to music and meeting friends for lunch or dinner along with art classes. It’s definitely never a dull day here and no two days are ever the same.

The people we support have barriers to their communication, so it’s essential that you have an excellent grasp of the English language.

All we’ll need you to bring is;
  • Full UK driving licence
  • 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
Sound interesting? What are you waiting for? Apply today, we can’t wait to hear from you!

If you’re successful in joining our team, you will be expected to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and must be willing to work towards a SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare as required for SSSC registration. We will need you to register with the SSSC within 6 months of starting your employment with us.

Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
