What is a Relief Support Worker
Relief Support Workers provide a highly valued source of support across our services, helping to cover short or long term planned and unplanned absences. As a member of our relief pool, you’ll play a key role in supporting people with complex needs to live independently in their own homes, or to attend their activities and stay connected to their communities.
As a Relief Support Worker, you can share your availability and preferences in advance so managers can plan effectively and match your strengths, skills and interests. You can also let us know if you’re available at short notice—every hour of support makes a meaningful difference. Whatever your availability, your contribution matters.
