We are now recruiting for a sessional Support Worker to join the sessional list in our Cabin Respite Service.

• An enthusiastic attitude to developing skills in Social Care
• Respect for diversity
• The ability to attain registration with regulatory bodies
• Basic IT skills
• Candidates must be 18 years old or over for insurance purposes

In return we offer a competitive compensation and benefits package which includes sleepover allowance (currently the equivalent of £12 per hour), 32 days annual leave (pro rata based on hours worked) plus other benefits including a 24/7 employee assistance program, full induction and comprehensive ongoing training and personal development opportunities.
