Make a Difference Every Day – Join #TeamBeltane!
Looking for a part-time role that’s rewarding, varied and genuinely makes a difference? At #TeamBeltane, we’re looking for enthusiastic and caring Support Practitioners to join our team on a part-time basis, working between 16 and 30 hours per week.
As a Support Practitioner, you’ll play an important role in supporting two young men as they move on from school and take their next steps towards adulthood.
No two days will be the same. You’ll help them build confidence, develop independence and discover new experiences, while supporting them to make choices and work towards their own goals. From celebrating the small wins to being there for the bigger milestones, you’ll get to see first-hand the positive difference your support can make.
What Could Your Day Look Like?
You’ll be encouraged to take an active interest in their hobbies and interests, which currently include:
🎬 Trips to the cinema
🚗 Day trips and exploring the local area
✈️ Travelling and discovering new places
🎯 Trying new activities and experiences
💬 Building confidence and developing new interests
We’re looking for people who can bring energy, creativity and enthusiasm to the role — someone who isn’t afraid to suggest new ideas, explore new places and help create opportunities for the people we support.
Most importantly, you’ll take the time to get to know them as individuals, understand what they enjoy and support them to develop their interests in ways that are meaningful to them.
