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?
You'll join our friendly team of Support Workers at one of our small, homely supported living services in Wheathampstead, a village located between St. Albans and Luton, where we support five adults aged 18 to 60 who each have a learning disability.
We have a lot of fun here! Everyone likes to get out and about as much as possible and we regularly go for walks and visit the cinema. You'll join in with other popular activities such as visiting the local zoo and the ice skating rink. Closer to home, we make the most of the scenic village with frequent shopping trips that normally end in a local coffee shop or pub.
At home, people enjoy sensory activities utilising our range of specialist equipment. Not everything is high tech though - sometimes you just can't beat reading a good story!
This is a full-time role, working 37.5 hours per week. You'll take your turn working shifts on a rota basis which include days, evenings and weekends.
