If you enjoy the variety of working in different teams with different people, then this is the role you are looking for.
Support for Ordinary Living (SOL) provides support to individuals within their own homes through their own dedicated team of support workers. We are looking to add peripatetic support workers to these teams to provide cover when there are holidays, training, and periods of sickness.
This means that the people we support will have a familiar face and continuity of support when their regular team member is off.
As a peripatetic support worker, you will be allocated a set number of teams to be part of and assist in. Full time staff will have a set rota that they will work on a two-weekly basis, meaning you may work in a different team each day or may be with the one team for a week.
The two-week rolling rota you will work is -
Week 1 - Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday are workdays and full availability is required, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are days off
Week 2 - Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are workdays, and full availability is required Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday are days off
Part time contracts of 24 hours per week are also available, however the above pattern would not apply.
Sleepover availability will be a requirement on an ad hoc basis depending on the teams you are allocated to. Sleepovers are in addition to your contracted hours and paid at £12 per hour
Two years support worker experience is essential for this role and driver preferred.
