Relief Support Worker

Are you looking for a role with full flexibility? A role where no two days are the same? If so, come and join our team! Work with Sense and make a real difference to the lives of the people we support and their families. You don't need any previous experience to become a support worker with Sense. We'll give you full training for our part-time and full-time roles. Sense now have opportunities for Relief Support Workers to join us in the Louth area.

If you live outside of Louth, to be considered for the role you will need use of your own vehicle to get to and from the service for early/late shifts due to very limited public transport. This is a casual role, with flexible hours. We work flexibly across the week so can offer part-time/full-time and relief/bank contracts. Sense is offering £12.50 per hour.

The work involves varied shifts, from sleep-ins, weekends, evenings and days. We are looking for people who want to have flexibility but are able to offer commitment and shared values in return, a great role for someone looking to get into the care sector!

We're looking for enthusiastic applicants who are:

• Positive, with a can-do attitude.
• Caring and empathetic.
• Passionate about enhancing other people's lives.
• Willing to attend training as needed to support you in your role.

No two days will be the same. Here at Sense, we support people with complex disabilities to live the life they choose. Your priority will be empowering the people you support to live an independent life.

The duties for this role in the Louth area include:

• To support individuals/groups within the home, centre and community.
• To provide a customised, responsive and high-quality service to people with multiple sensory impairments, physical and/or learning disabilities who use Sense services.
• To deliver services which meet or exceed organisational expectations and standards.

Everyone we support is an individual, so their care is as unique as they are. You can see a more detailed description of duties in the job description attached at the bottom of this advert.

Working at Sense can be incredibly rewarding; we offer the opportunity to work in a large, diverse and successful charity where people can develop their skills, knowledge and careers in a supportive and flexible environment.
