Support Practitioner (Female)
Are you on the look out for a rewarding, flexible new job? We're on the look out for caring and reliable people to join us! Being a Support Practitioner is more than just a job, there’s no better feeling going home after every shift knowing that you’ve made a positive difference in someone’s life.
Our amazing #TeamKnightswood have an exciting opportunity for an outgoing and enthusiastic female* colleague with a creative flair to join them on permanent (24 hours per week) basis as a Support Practitioner. We also have relief options available if you're looking for something more flexible.
The Role
You'll join a small friendly team providing tailored, person-centred care to a lady in her own home. As a Support Practitioner, you will provide support with all aspects of daily living, including personal care.
You will take an active role in the planning and delivery of person-centred care to enable the lady we support to live a fulfilling and valued life, where she can achieve her own personal goals and aspirations.
The lady you will be supporting enjoys going for walks through the park and in particular feeding the ducks. When not pampering herself with a trip to get her nails done, you will find her in the kitchen baking up all sorts of lovely treats!
About You
- Great communication skills
- A positive attitude with a solution-focused approach
- Good team working skills
- The ability to work on your own initiative
- A willingness to learn and use new systems and technology
- The ability to apply good administrative and numeracy skills to ensure that clear, accurate records are evidenced and kept up to date
- An understanding of the importance of keeping to routines and guidelines
