On-Call Support Worker
We’re looking for a calm, reliable and caring person to join our team as an On-Call Support Worker. This is a flexible, home-based role supporting our care team and clients outside of standard office hours.
You don’t need to be sat at a desk — you can be at home or out locally (within 10 miles of our office area). You simply need to be contactable and ready to take calls if they come through.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys responsibility, problem-solving and supporting others, but also values flexibility and independence.
Pay & Allowance
- £100 per week on-call allowance (covers availability across the rota)
- £12.71 per hour for any active work (calls, scheduling, emergency visits)
- Mileage paid for any emergency in-field visits
What the Role Involves
During your on-call shifts, you’ll be the first point of contact for:
- CareAngels needing support or guidance
- Clients or family members calling with queries or concerns
- Urgent scheduling issues (e.g., sickness, delays, last-minute changes)
- Logging information accurately into our systems
- Liaising with the Registered Manager if a situation requires escalation
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Role
Emergency In-Field Support - Although the role is primarily home-based, you must be a driver with access to your own car, as you may occasionally need to attend urgent in-field visits, such as:
- Welfare checks
- Supporting a carer who is delayed or stuck
- Ensuring a client is not left without essential care
These situations are not frequent, but when they arise, you’ll be the calm, capable person who steps in to keep clients safe.
