What you’ll be doing
The Reach & Respond service operates on a 24/7 basis and supports nearly 9,000 vulnerable people to remain living independently and safely in their own home. We are looking to recruit someone for this 32-hour permanent post, including standbys in Scarborough. Please note that this role could be offered on a 24-hour contract if this would suit the right candidate.
Working on a 5-week rota, you will work 7 standbys, alongside a 32-hour working week. You'll need a strong desire to support your team, and where possible be flexible covering additional hours/standby's when required. Another benefit is that the position is worked from home until you are called out when on standby and you'll have full use of a fully equipped fleet vehicle.
Whilst this role is not a caring role, you will be required to carry out and provide care support if this is identified on call outs with the customer.
Standbys are paid at an excellent rate plus an additional call out fee per call out with any mileage paid extra. Mileage is paid at a rate of 45p per mile.
The right candidate will be able to build strong colleague and customer relationships and be solution focused as you will be part of a team which makes a difference on a daily basis. If you think this role is for you – apply today!
This is a great opportunity to be part of a friendly team of individuals who all care passionately for the people they support - always going that extra mile.
You will work with your own small circle of vulnerable customers in the local community, supporting them to live happy, independent lives by providing emergency response visits, installing assistive technology and equipment, advice and information, companionship (having a cup of tea and a natter!), plus many more tasks.
Sound good? Here’s what we need from you…
You will need to have the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues, using your initiative and building strong relationships across the service area and with partner organisations. You will also need to be able to:
Use your own initiative
Exercise a high degree of flexibility
Demonstrate you are computer literate
Use your strong communication and interpersonal skills within the role
Provide a full driving license.
Do you want to find out more?
Fancy a chat about the role? Take a seat, make yourself a brew: call Sam Wade: our Reach & Respond Team Leader on 07973 858470. It could be the best decision you make today.
Closing date for applications is Tuesday 16 July 2024, applications will be reviewed throughout the duration of the advert and we may close it should enough applications be received. We are not working with recruitment agencies on this vacancy.
Beyond Housing’s Employability team is here to support your application. If you need any assistance please call 0345 065 5656 or email employmentsupport@beyondhousing.co.uk.
