Shift Patterns
We understand that you would like to have a good work/life balance, so we try to be as flexible as possible with our shift patterns.

Weekends and public holidays would form part of your rota on a rotational basis, but we aim to only have you working two weekends in a 2 month period.
Shift length can be anything between 4 and 10 hours, depending on what suits you and the person you will be supporting. There will be times where you will provide support to more than one person in one day. so we will need you to hold a full driving license and have access to your own vehicle. We pay mileage between support calls at a rate of 45p per mile.
Some of the people we support also have their own mobility cars too, so we will also need you to have at least one year of driving experience on the roads for insurance purposes.
