I should stress that I will be your employer and have full responsibility for recruitment, contracts, supervision, pay, training etc. A support service assists me in meeting my responsibilities as an employer.

**Salary**: This is a flat rate of pay that takes account of unsociable hours and weekend working.

**Hours**:These are the mínimally contracted hours. If I require additional support at other times I will try to give as much notice as possible, an ability to be flexible would be an advantage.

**Job Type**: Part-time

**Salary**: £10.42-£11.44 per hour
