Are you looking for a fulfilling role that makes a positive impact in your local community? At Carr Gomm, we are offering a unique opportunity to become a Support Practitioner and make a real impact in the lives of both carers and their loved ones.

About Us: Carr Gomm is a leading social care and community development charity. Our service in Nairn 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.

With an impressive 5-star rating from the Care Inspectorate, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of care and support. We strive for excellence in everything that we do, and our Support Practitioners play a vital role in maintaining these high standards.

What We’re Looking For: We are looking for caring individuals 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. Drivers are preferred, as our service extends to rural communities.
