Job Description

Looking for a worthwhile job with the hours that work for you ?

Join us as a Relief Support Worker, we provide support 24 hours a day seven days per week so we can probably offer the hours that suit you.

How Relief Hours Work

It's a bit like a zero hour contract but without the bad bits.

• You don't have to work when it's not convenient for you.
• Receive the same training towards professional qualifications as permanent staff.
• We offer these contracts not because it suits us but because it suits you.
• With over 95% of our staff are on permanent contracts you will be supported to apply for one when its right for you.
• 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?

This is a varied role in which you will support people to attend our learning centre in Kennington, Oxfordshire as well as provide one-to-one support out in the community. Day-to-day activities include supported employment, arts and crafts, snooker, baking, drama, music, dance, and horticulture; the list is endless!

One day you may find yourself supporting a small group to visit the Abingdon Market, play a few rounds of mini golf or go for a swim. The next, you could be taking William* to his work experience at a local farm or on a visit to a museum.

Perhaps you'll spend the afternoon in our learning centre where there is a computer suite, fully accessible kitchen, sensory/ games room and large courtyard which everyone likes to relax in on a sunny day. We hold a monthly disco which is an opportunity for everyone to let there hair down and have some fun! There is always lots going on and we like to say that nothing is off limits, so if you had any ideas or hobbies of your own we would love to hear from you.
