General Information:

We offer FULL-TIME PERMANENT CONTRACTS
Most roles have a fixed rolling shift pattern assigned to them so that you know your regular hours of work on an ongoing basis
For those roles with no fixed shift pattern, you will be given a 6-week rota to plan around
Generally, with all roles, you will only work 3-4 days per week
You are guaranteed to have every other weekend off in full if you have a fixed rota role
There is lots of opportunity to pick up extra shifts but there is no obligation to do so, and we value a healthy work-life balance. You will not be allocated extra shifts if you do not want them
You will have access to lots of support from great managers and the opportunity to complete an NVQ
Progression opportunities do become available and are open to all existing employees prior to external recruitment.
You will generally work in the same house on each shift. There is generally no travelling between services once you start work, and you will build strong and meaningful relationships with the people you support and your colleagues.
The majority of the people we support have their own Motability Vehicles so for those of you who drive there is normally no need to use your own car.
