Community Contacts is an independent Carr Gomm project offering impartial advice, information and support about Self-Directed Support. We do this by offering ‘A Helping Hand with Self-Directed Support (SDS)’.

Work with Us
We provide vital social care services across Argyll & Bute and regularly recruit full-time, part-time and relief Support Practitioners to join our teams.
We offer full training and ongoing support, plus the opportunity for permanent staff to achieve an SVQ in Health and Social Care while working with us. No previous experience is needed – we’re looking for people who share our values and passion for supporting people to live their best lives.
I like helping people and seeing the reward of keeping people out of hospital and living in their own homes.
