Looking for a job where you can make a positive difference with hours that work for you? Could you see yourself supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or autism? No experience needed. We are currently recruiting Relief Support Workers to work in the Shrewsbury area. Come and join our award winning charity to help support others to live a life that makes sense to them. Overview of role You will support with a range of activities from the everyday living needs and ‘must dos’ (such as assisting with medications, supporting with attending health and medical appointments, moving and handling), through to the lighter side of life doing things like becoming involved with the local community, shopping, baking, gardening and socialising with family and friends and much much more (activities vary from home to home). We're always open to hearing if you may have a hobby or new idea to bring too How Relief works The Relief (Bank) post will support the permanent rota staff by completing shifts that are vacant due to annual leave/sickness/training/unforeseen vacancies. As such, hours are non specific but the service will endeavour to balance the needs of the service against your own work/life balance as appropriately as possible. Rotas will be available 6 weeks in advance. Who are we? We are an Award winning Charity that has the core belief that everyone has potential, something to offer and a valuable contribution to make to their community.
