Shifnal, United Kingdom MacIntyre Full time

**Looking for a worthwhile job with the hours that work for you ?**

Join us as a Relief Support Worker, we provide support 24 hours a day seven days per week so we can probably offer the hours that suit you.

**How Relief hours work**

It's a bit like a zero hour contract but without the bad bits.
- You don't have to work when it's not convenient for you.
- Receive the same training towards professional qualifications as permanent staff.
- We offer these contracts not because it suits us but because it suits you.
- Job security and career development

The Relief (Bank) post supports the permanent rota staff by completing shifts that are vacant due to annual leave, training and other staff absences. As such, hours are non-specific but your manager will endeavour to balance the needs of the service against your own work/life balance as appropriately as possible.

We normally plan the rotas one month in advance, but additional opportunities also come up due to unexpected staff absences.

**So what would you be doing**

Here in Shifnal, our priority is to ensure people enjoy the lifestyles they desire. The role involves supporting three adults with Learning Disabilities and Autism who enjoy living as independently as possible, maintaining or learning new daily living skills. Their favourite activities include shopping, cooking, arts and crafts, visiting National Trust sites, zoos and farms, local short and longer walks, baking and social events.

Support workers also assist to attend medical appointments and may require support with some aspects of personal care and the administration of medication.

The rota patterns will include the various shifts mentioned above. (Rotas will be available 6 weeks in advance.).
