You do not need experience. We will give you full and robust training and shadowing periods.
A robust care plan will be given to follow, which forms part of the main structure of the service.
If you are not sure about the position, come along and spend some time with the service user and service team manager to decide if this is the right placement for you.

Friday 2pm right through to Monday 2pm. This is the maximum it will be, which we will work towards. You do not have to work the whole weekend, and we can discuss options with you during the recruitment process.
As well as the weekend, you would be on bank/casual to cover any overtime, holiday, sickness, and any gaps in the rota. This could be any day of the week/sleep-in.
Due to the fact that this isn’t a full-time role, we welcome candidates who have a second job to work alongside, but please ensure that it won’t interfere with any confirmed shifts you are down to work.
The recruitment process:
Short video introduction which you will need to send on WhatsApp.
60-90 minute interview 1.
60-90 minute interview 2.
Paid training, shadow and trial shifts will commence for a minimum of six to twelve months.
Training, shadow shifts and trials:
Will take place at any point during any day of the week.
Please ensure you are available to partake fully in the training.
Holiday pay:
Is paid on top of the hourly rate at 12.07% which equates to five and a half weeks annual leave (unless you are contracted then it works a different way).
Rates of pay:
£15.50 per day hour plus the holiday pay to make it a total of £17.37 per hour.
Night sleep-in rate:
£34 per sleep-in (we pay an increased amount of £89.10 plus holiday pay per sleep to compensate you should you be awake).
You will be paid towards the end of the month (within the last four days of the month) in arrears pro rata through PAYE administered by Wiltshire Council payroll team and all tax, national insurance, pension etc. is calculated by them and you will be sent a monthly payslip with all payments and deductions.
Benefits of working on our team:
No Covid jabs needed
Free enhanced DBS
Higher than normal wages compared to most support work
Possible pay increase reviews every two years of continuous employment
Pension scheme if you qualify (Enrolment is automatic but can be opted out once enrolled)
A very unique supported living set up offering a therapeutic environment for the service user
Payment for training and job shadowing
A family atmosphere is the key here.
· We are looking for someone who acts like they truly care
· Please have the ability to be flexible
· Please be reliable
· Due to the nature of this role, applicants must be available to work and cover all shifts that are required of them and integrity is essential right from the start and throughout because of the expectations and needs of the service user.
Please only apply if you can meet all criteria set out in this job advert and any further criteria set out in interviews and training.
We have to get this right for the service user due to the amount of time you will be with the service user so it is paramount that we have your full patience and support while we set you up for lone working. The service user is extremely fussy who he has supporting him and due to his complex needs we have to do this whole process carefully.
