Looking for work that fits around your life and gives something back? As a Relief Support Worker, you'll be part of a close-knit team that helps adults live more independently, safely and confidently. You'll step in when needed, offering care, companionship and a steady presence. That might be for a morning shift, an evening, or an overnight.
What you'll do:
Support people with everyday tasks, from cooking and cleaning to budgeting and appointments
Help individuals make choices and take steps towards their goals
Keep accurate notes and contribute to support planning
Promote inclusion, respect and independence at every turn
This isn't about ticking boxes. It's about noticing the little things, being kind when it matters most and helping someone feel at home in their own life.
What we're looking for:
A calm, patient and caring approach
Confidence to work independently and use your initiative
Flexibility to cover shifts as and when needed
A willingness to learn and develop your skills
You don't need experience in care. Just the right values. We'll provide full training, and if you're not already qualified, we'll support you to gain your SVQ 3.
What you'll get:
Hours that fit around you
Ongoing training and development
A welcoming, supportive working environment
The chance to make a real difference, one shift at a time
