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. You will be joining a team that supports five fantastic adults who have a learning disability.
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 on permanent contracts, you will be supported to apply for one when it's 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 endeavor 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.
At MacIntyre, we take pride in our work and are dedicated to making a meaningful impact. Our commitment to the people we support is reflected in everything we do, our DNA, and values.
We are looking for female Relief Support Workers to join the supportive and friendly team at our Supported Living Service in Hemel Hempstead. We are looking for proactive people who can share their passions and interests with five fantastic adults who have learning disabilities.
Are you patient, approachable, and fun? Do you enjoy cooking, music, arts and crafts, walks in parks, going to the gym, and gardening? The people we support enjoy all of these, and you would be supporting them to make the most of these activities, enabling them to live gloriously ordinary lives!
We do require you to be a driver with a UK license so that you can support them on trips out in their cars. The shifts are 7am - 2:15pm and 2:15pm - 9:15pm.
Your interest in joining our remarkable team is truly appreciated, and it speaks volumes about your commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of individuals facing unique challenges.
We are more than happy to share our culture, activities, and the fulfilling journey that the people we support and staff experience. If you would like to learn more, please contact us.
We look forward to the possibility of working together and creating a positive impact on the lives of the people we support; you bring the passion and the values, and we will provide the training.
Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorships as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.
