We are seeking a reliable and compassionate Relief Support Worker to provide flexible cover for staff holidays, sickness, and occasional additional staffing needs. Shifts may include evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.
You will support guests with day-to-day needs, provide one-to-one guidance, accompany them to appointments, and encourage engagement in positive activities that promote wellbeing and independence. Some lone working is required, so confidence, good judgement, and clear communication are essential.
