Support Worker (Support at Home Service)

Zero- Rated Contract

£13.15 per hour 

The Support at Home Service is a new service designed to provide support for older people in their own homes in order to maintain their independence. We are now looking to recruit an additional staff member so that we can expand the service.

This is a zero-rated contract, so hours are not guaranteed, but the positive side of this is that you are able to work on days and at times that work for your and your life. If you are offered the position, the work is likely to start with just a few hours a week and then build up gradually to the number of hours you want to work.

We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic person who is flexible, with a driving licence and access to your own transport, as well as excellent inter-personal and communication skills.
