Our dedicated friendly team provide 24/7 support which is tailored to the needs of each individual, so depending on shift length you may be supporting more than one individual but do not worry as we factor travel into your hours. Our shifts include earlies, lates and sleepovers which start at 9am until 9am the following day and sleep between 11pm and 7am along with weekends and public holidays on a rotational basis.

There may be occasions that you will be asked to start early or stay later depending on activities the people we support have on.

• Paid travel during shifts and 45p per mile fuel allowance.
• Continuous in-house training opportunities and chances to further your career in social care.
