Social care has been prominent in the media during recent months and has highlighted the amazing role that care support staff play in our community.
As a result of increasing demands for our service, an exciting opportunity has arisen for Relief Mobile Care Support Staff to join our award- winning Home First team.
Relief Workers are offered zero-hour contracts to enable them to pick to work any shifts and any day they are able too. The choice is yours. Core shifts are available every week whether you prefer mornings, afternoon or night shift.
Working closely with our NHS colleagues, we are responsive to the needs of our customers by supporting the prevention of hospital admission and facilitating hospital discharge by providing short-term assessment support to people in their own homes and within our integrated Assessment Hubs at Perth House.
We look after some of the most vulnerable and frail people in our community who have been discharged from hospital, or for those who experience a short period of ill health enabling them to stay at home rather than be in a hospital bed. We assess customer’s needs and work with them to be as independent as possible.
Working as part of our valued and vibrant care support team you'll be ensuring our customers are supported in assisting them with everyday tasks such as washing and dressing, meal preparation and medication. Working in this fast-paced team you'll work closely with social care practitioners and health care professionals.
Whether you have looked after family members, looking for a new career path or professional care experience, are over 18 years of age and possess: -
- Desire to make a difference
- A 'can do attitude' and open mind.
- Caring nature
- Reliable and flexible
- Willingness to learn
- Good level of written and spoken English
- A right to work in the UK.
We definitely want to hear from you and in return we will provide you with:
- Initial and ongoing training which will support you to further develop your skills
- Career development pathway.
- DBS check.
- Support from our management team.
- Generous holiday pay.
- Uniform.
- Benefits associated as employees of Derby City Council.
We are particularly interested to hear from those able to work in our community and have full UK driving licence and access to a car or motorcycle for business use. We pay a generous mileage allowance and travel time between calls.
If you are interested in joining our team please apply using the application form and telling us all about how you can be a great Support Worker, we look forward to hearing from you.
