As a Support Practitioner, you’ll play a key role in helping people live their best lives. Every day, you’ll make a real difference, whether you’re supporting someone with daily routines, helping them settle back home after a hospital stay, or responding to telecare alarms. It’s a role where every day you help people stay connected, independent, and supported in their own homes.
About Us
Carr Gomm is a leading social care and community development charity, supporting people across Argyll & Bute to live independently, safely, and well in their own homes. We are currently recruiting Support Practitioners for the following services in Lochgilphead:
- Respond to Telecare alarms helping people in emergencies such as falls. This fast-paced role involves dynamic risk assessments, quick problem-solving, and using specialist equipment such as ELK cushions.
- Shift Patterns: 11pm – 7am waking nights.
- All Support Practitioners support people to live well in their own homes, building trusting relationships and helping them stay connected to their community.
