Our Relief Support Practitioner role allows you to have the flexibility to pick and choose shifts around other commitments you may have in your life. All we ask is that you are able to complete your training requirements (classroom and online style) and work with us on a fairly regular basis.

We would particularly welcome your application if you have an interest in waking night shifts.
