Purpose of Role
Our relief workers provide critical support to our projects, helping to cover short or long term planned and unplanned absences or gaps in our rotas. This helps ensure that we have high quality support in place for our service users at all times.
Sometimes this will be planned in advance, and at other times it may be at short notice to help cover a shift which has become unexpectedly available.
We take a flexible approach to relief work and there is no obligation on you to take shifts which are offered out if they're not convenient for you. This means you can work as much or as little as you like depending on the shifts available.
This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS disclosure.
