At the organisation, they strive to create a culture and environment where people feel valued and inspired to reach their own personal goals. Their fundamental priority is to provide support which is safe and promotes recovery, social inclusion and citizenship for people with mental health challenges.

They recognise that the people they support have skills and experience that can bring about positive changes for themselves. Through an ethos of inclusion, equality and fairness, their staff are committed to promoting good mental health and wellbeing for people using their services.

Their ARBD supported accommodation is based in Bardowie Street in Glasgow’s Possilpark, and is an assessment centre for people who have been diagnosed with ARBD or possible ARBD. They provide a safe and positive environment in which people can develop the life skills and confidence to actively move towards and define their recovery.

The service provides bespoke and proactive support to identify and address the individual’s needs, placing them at the heart of their support. With an emphasis on independence and empowerment, people are helped to move toward self-identified goals. While there is an element of collaborative group work, this is at all times focussed on improving self-esteem and addressing issues such loneliness, social exclusion and addiction in a supportive peer environment.

The Role

Practitioners train new workers re medication support according to the individual plan while following policy guidelines

Practitioners also provide support and supervision in line with organisational policy to several of the workers and will receive the relevant training and qualification required by the SSSC and Care Inspectorate.      

Practitioners’ complete audits of the resident’s support plans to ensure that the quality of the support plans meet the standards required by the organisation.    

As a practitioner in a service where no day is the same, it is important to be able to prioritise and delegate tasks, but it is also equally as important to make the environment both positive and welcoming for residents and the team. 

You will be passionate about working in a person-centred way with adults from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of challenges. With a strong interest in people and a commitment to helping others, you will strive to make a positive impact on people’s lives and tailor support to enable people to fulfil their best potential.
