Hours: Part-time & full-time - 30 or 35 hours per week.

About the Role:

• The D2A service provides short-term, high-quality support to individuals who are well enough not to need an acute hospital bed but do need some extra support in their home.
• You will assess customers' needs to identify areas where support is needed to promote independent living and provide person-centred care.
• You will motivate customers and build their confidence so they can achieve their goals and return to independent living.

• You should be proactive and self-motivated with great initiative and excellent communication skills.
• QCF Level 2 in Health and Social Care is desirable but not essential.
• A full driving license and access to your own vehicle are required, as you will need to be comfortable with lone working and travelling between customers.

• Double time on bank holidays and an additional GBP1 per hour on weekends.
• Mileage allowance of 45p per mile.
