Job Description

Join Our Team in Forth Valley as a Support Practitioner

 

Step into James’ world of Scalextrics, spinning records and sharing laughs!

 

Since joining the Carr Gomm family, James has been on a journey of self-expression and discovery. Ever since childhood, he boarded in various institutions and didn’t always have the opportunity to voice his needs and wants, leaving him without control over his own life. In 2016, he embarked on an exciting new chapter by moving to a place of his own in Stirling. With the support from his dedicated team of Support Practitioners, James smoothly transitioned to his new home, unleashing a new spark on his personality.

 

“James is doing things both he and his family never thought would be possible.”

Securing his own tenancy has been a major milestone for James, bringing him pride and a sense of belonging in the community.

Now there’s nothing that James enjoys more than kicking back and listening to his favourite 80s tunes.

 

Do you want to make a difference for James and people like him in your local community? Become part of our team today!
