Could you be the person who makes someone’s day? Start a career where what you do really matters.

What if your job wasn't just about getting through the day — but about helping someone live their best life?

We're looking for females* who are either starting out, changing careers, or looking for something flexible - we've got part-time ( 30 hours per week) roles waiting for you in Dumbarton.

🌟 No two days are the same

Forget sitting behind a desk doing the same thing every day.

As a Support Practitioner, you'll be part of people's everyday lives and help them do the things that are important to them.

That could mean:
• 🍳 Cooking a favourite meal together
• 🏡 Supporting someone to maintain their own home
• 🌳 Gardening or getting out into the community
• 🧶 Enjoying hobbies such as knitting
• 💃 Going along to a dance class
• ☕ Sharing a chat and a cup of tea
• 🚗 Going on days out and exploring new places
• 🎯 Supporting someone to achieve a personal goal

It's the little moments that can make the biggest difference. You'll be there to encourage, support and empower people — not to do everything for them. Your role is to help people build confidence, develop independence and have the freedom to make their own choices.

💛 You don't need experience — just the right attitude

Never worked in social care before? That's okay.

You don't need to have all the answers. We'll give you the training, support and confidence you need to become great at your role.

You'll be paid while you train, have access to funded, recognised qualifications, and have a team around you every step of the way.

What matters most is that you're someone who:

• Is kind, patient and compassionate
• Enjoys helping others and making a difference
• Is positive and willing to try new things
• Works well as part of a team
• Is willing to learn and develop
• Respects people's choices, independence and individuality
• Is confident using computers and tablets

🚗 Can you drive? Great — but it's not essential. A full UK manual driving licence with at least one year's driving experience would be beneficial for this role, but it's not a deal-breaker for the right person.

Shift patterns

Our teams provide support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shifts will fall between the hours of 9am and 6pm (there may be later finishing times depending on the needs of the people we support). Patterns include: -

• Early mornings
• Evenings
• Weekends
• Public holidays
• Sleepovers
  
  

Sleepover shifts don’t count towards your weekly hours, you’ll receive an additional payment of £107.60 for every sleepover worked - giving you the opportunity to earn extra alongside your contracted hours.

Don't wait - apply today and start a career that changes lives (including yours).

Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy.

If you’re successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.

Please note - If you have spent more than 12 months out with the UK (excluding France, Germany. Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre-employment checks.
