Are you looking for a job that's rewarding, varied and that genuinely changes lives?

Join our fantastic #TeamNorthAyrshireCS supporting people across the Saltcoats, Ardrossan, Irvine and Kilwinning areas.

We have various part-time contracts available ranging from 16-30 hours per week.

No experience? No problem.

You don't need a background in social care to join us. We recruit people for their values, attitude and passion for making a difference.

We'll provide all the training and support you'll need, we'll even fund your SVQ (SCQF level 6/7), PVG costs and annual SSSC registration fees.

What you'll be doing

Every day is different. As a Support Practitioner, you'll support people with a range of needs to live independently and enjoy the life they choose.

You could be:

• Supporting with cooking and meal planning
• Helping with household tasks and managing finances
• Attending appointments
• Supporting with medication and personal care
• Encouraging independence and building confidence

But it's not all about practical support. You'll also spend time doing the things that matter most to the people you support.

Whether that's exploring new places, going for walks, listening to music, getting creative with arts and crafts or taking part in activities in the local community, you'll help to create meaningful experiences.

What we're looking for

If you're kind, positive and enjoy helping others, you could be exactly who we're looking for.

You'll need:

• Good communication skills
• A caring and respectful approach
• A willingness to learn
• Basic cooking skills
• Confidence using a computer

Work/life balance matters

We know flexibility is important, so we aim to create shift patterns that support a healthy work/life balance.

Our support is delivered between 0900 and 2100 hours, seven days a week, with weekends and public holidays worked on a fair rotational basis.

Occasionally, a morning shift may start earlier, or an evening shift may finish later to support planned activities, but you'll always have plenty of notice.
