- Waking Nights shifts may be available, and are paid at an hourly rate of £14.17;
- Full shift usually at one location however we do require flexibility as you may be required to travel between our locations from time to time;

- Enable our service users to have independent and fulfilled lives through community-based activities such as cinema trips, bowling, gardening and farm projects;
- Accompany our service users occasionally on holidays in England and abroad;
- Be prepared to take a flexible approach to shift working as there is a variety of day and evening shifts and this requires alternate weekend working.
