About the Role
Floating Support Workers are the charity's first port of call for shift cover across the charity. You will enjoy all the same benefits as one of our contracted Support Workers but with the expectation to travel where you are needed most at short notice, with an enhanced rate to compensate. Your hours will be agreed in advance; however, your location of work may change. If you are required to travel outside of a 10-mile radius of your home address, you will be entitled to claim expenses for travel. The roaming nature of your role means every day is different, providing an array of personal development opportunities every time you arrive for your shift. (We do not offer sponsorship)
