We have opportunities available on a permanent part-time basis (16 or 20 hours per week), as well as relief positions if you're looking for something a bit more flexible.
You’ll become part of a fun, friendly and supportive team providing personalised support to six individuals living within our housing support service. Each person has their own unique needs, interests and goals, making every day different and rewarding.
At Cornerstone, the people we support are at the heart of everything we do. You'll work alongside individuals to help them achieve their personal goals, make choices and live as independently as possible.
Role
Every person is different, with their own interests, routines and ambitions. Your role will be to provide personalised support that helps people to:
- Manage their own homes and develop their independence
- Access personal care and support their health and wellbeing
- Enjoy hobbies, interests and meaningful activities
- Get out and about in their local community
- Work towards their individual goals and aspirations
- Build confidence and enjoy life on their own terms
No experience, don't worry, we're more interested in what you as a person will bring to our team.
We'll give you full training, pay you for your training and provide a supportive team around you every step of the way. We'll also fund your SVQ (SCQF Level 6/7) qualification and your PVG and SSSC registration fees.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Qualities We're Looking For

- Reliable and committed
- A good communicator and team player
- Comfortable working independently
- Willing to learn and try new things
- Confident using technology and new systems
- Organised, with good administrative and numeracy skills
- Able to follow routines, policies and guidelines
Being a Support Practitioner is about much more than completing a shift. It's about building relationships, encouraging independence and helping someone enjoy a life that is meaningful to them.
There's no better feeling than heading home at the end of your shift knowing you've made a genuine difference to someone's life.
Come and be part of #TeamBerrybank and help us make a positive difference in Maud. Apply today!
