Nothing pleases us more than seeing smiles on faces. We know that exceptional care goes beyond making sure individuals have a safe, secure place to live and making sure their daily needs are met. We’ve identified a number of behaviours that will help you shine while you’re working at Hollybank.
This is what you need to be, if you want to #BeSomeone here.
Push yourself out of your comfort zone from time to time; don’t be afraid to challenge things; try new things – you don’t know unless you have a go!

Ask questions; have a voice and share your views; look for new ways of doing things that get better results; be open to learning; show an interest in the job you’re doing and the people you meet here.
Being curious is about: being inquisitive, welcoming change, showing an interest in other people’s jobs, not just your own; asking lots of questions about the way that we do things and why; putting yourself forward to try new things and put new ways of working into practice to see if it’s any better than the status quo.
Enjoy your time here; build strong relationships and give your best self; appreciate the difference you are making by being here; do something every day that makes you smile.
Being happy is about: being cheerful and positive, bringing your best self to work and immersing yourself in the tasks you are given; exploring opportunities for development and stretch within Hollybank; sharing your enthusiasm for life with the people we are here to support.
Always. Look for ways to help your colleagues; remember to get the work/life balance right; try and see things from a different perspective
Being kind is about: caring and compassion, reaching out to your colleagues if they look like they’re struggling; being an active member of the team, working together to achieve shared goals; taking care of yourself outside of work and seeking support if you need it.

Making a Difference Every Day – Join Carr Gomm as a Relief Support Practitioner in Forth Valley
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 Relief 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 Forth Valley 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.
About the Role
As a Relief Support Practitioner, you’ll be the helping hand that carers rely on. Your role involves providing respite care, allowing carers the well-deserved break they need. Your time with the person you support might include chatting and spending time together, helping with simple meal preparation, and assisting with personal care tasks like washing or getting dressed. You will provide respectful support to help with their daily needs.
We value flexibility, and our support visits can be tailored to work around your other commitments, whether it’s childcare, studies, or other responsibilities.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for caring people 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.
Working with Carr Gomm
Hear from Dion, one of our Support Practitioners in Inverness:
A typical day for me would be starting at 9.30-10.00. Then I would maybe pick up a supported person and we would go for a coffee or to the shops or stay at home and maybe do things they cannot do for themselves like make lunch, have a cup of tea. We would maybe watch some tv, listen to the radio and chat. Every supported person is different and that’s what’s great about support work every day is never the same.
I enjoy working in social care as it’s a very rewarding job. You are making a difference to someone’s life by helping them do things they cannot generally do, and they really appreciate any help you give them.
You are making such a difference to people’s lives even just by a tiny thing that you might do for them. The people I have worked with are so appreciative. Some days it doesn’t feel like work because I get on so well with everybody I have supported and taking someone just for a coffee is like a normal thing you would do with a friend, but it really means a lot to the person you support.”
Our Impact
The Carr Gomm Charity Shop supports a range of projects and activities for people we help across the Highland. Many of these initiatives focus on reducing social isolation by creating opportunities for connection and creativity within their local communities.
Apply Today
Applying to join our team as a Relief Support Practitioner is quick and straightforward. Our online application process typically takes 10-15 minutes to complete. We will ask for some essential details, including information on your previous employment and references.
We welcome applications from any candidates already eligible to work in the UK or those that can apply for a visa granting permission to work in the UK (e.g. dependent visas, ancestry etc.) that do not require sponsorship from Carr Gomm. You will be asked to share proof of this prior to receiving any offer of employment. It is currently our policy not to offer sponsorship for prospective candidates.
