Job Description
Making a Difference Every Day – Join [Employer hidden] as a Relief Support Practitioner in Forth Valley
Are you looking for a fulfilling role that makes a positive impact in your local community? At [Employer hidden], we are offering a unique opportunity to become a Relief Support Practitioner and make a real impact in the lives of both carers and their loved ones.
About Us
[Employer hidden] is a leading social care and community development charity. Our service in Forth Valley provides respite breaks to people with caring responsibilities. We believe in the power of person-centred support and the importance of ensuring that carers have the chance to take a break when needed. Our support helps to keep people in their own homes, surrounded by familiarity and comfort.
About the Role
As a Relief Support Practitioner, you’ll be the helping hand that carers rely on. Your role involves providing respite care, allowing carers the well-deserved break they need. Your time with the person you support might include chatting and spending time together, helping with simple meal preparation, and assisting with personal care tasks like washing or getting dressed. You will provide respectful support to help with their daily needs.
We value flexibility, and our support visits can be tailored to work around your other commitments, whether it’s childcare, studies, or other responsibilities.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for caring people who have a genuine passion for making a positive impact in their community. You do not need professional experience to join us. We provide comprehensive induction training to all new team members.
Working with [Employer hidden]
Hear from Dion, one of our Support Practitioners in Inverness:
A typical day for me would be starting at 9.30-10.00. Then I would maybe pick up a supported person and we would go for a coffee or to the shops or stay at home and maybe do things they cannot do for themselves like make lunch, have a cup of tea. We would maybe watch some tv, listen to the radio and chat. Every supported person is different and that’s what’s great about support work every day is never the same.
I enjoy working in social care as it’s a very rewarding job. You are making a difference to someone’s life by helping them do things they cannot generally do, and they really appreciate any help you give them.
You are making such a difference to people’s lives even just by a tiny thing that you might do for them. The people I have worked with are so appreciative. Some days it doesn’t feel like work because I get on so well with everybody I have supported and taking someone just for a coffee is like a normal thing you would do with a friend, but it really means a lot to the person you support.”
Our Impact
The [Employer hidden] Charity Shop supports a range of projects and activities for people we help across the Highland. Many of these initiatives focus on reducing social isolation by creating opportunities for connection and creativity within their local communities.
