Support Worker - Flexible Hours Male Only

Join Us as a Support Worker: Flexible Relief Hours Available!
Are you looking for a way to earn extra income on your schedule? Maybe you\’re considering a career as a Support Worker and want to gain some more experience? We have an exciting opportunity to join us as a Relief Support Worker in Ampthill that may be just what you\’re looking for!
Our relief roles offer flexibility, allowing your work with us to fit around your lifestyle. You\’ll receive the same training and professional qualifications as our permanent staff, and these roles are designed to work for you. With over 95% of our staff in permanent positions, we\’re here to support you if you consider a permanent position down the line. We foster an environment that promotes your career growth and job security.
You\’ll be supporting *David, *Stephen, and *Simon, who are in their forties and fifties. They each lead active, varied lives shaped by their individual personalities and preferences.

• David is a huge music fan – especially Metallica and Belinda Carlisle.
• Simon enjoys his daily shopping trips and never misses his regular bingo club.
• Stephen is passionate about airplanes, with the Duxford Air Show being a highlight of his year.

Like all of us, they have good days and days that are more difficult. On those days, you will be trained to notice the subtle signs that someone might be struggling and to respond with kindness and confidence.
If you\’re ready to make a difference and support someone in their daily life, we would love to hear from you.
Important Note: We are currently unable to offer sponsorships as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.
