About Closer to Home

Our Closer to Home services provide specialist support for individuals with complex needs and behaviours that can challenge.

This is rewarding and sometimes demanding work, suited to people who are calm, resilient and confident supporting individuals in situations that may be challenging at times.

About the role

We’re recruiting Bank Support Workers to support our Closer to Home services on a flexible basis.

This is a great opportunity if you:

• are looking for flexible work that fits around other commitments
• already work in care and are looking for additional shifts

Bank work is flexible — there’s no obligation for us to offer shifts, or for you to accept them. To remain active, you’ll just need to be able to commit to a minimum of three shifts per month.

Shifts can include days, evenings, weekends, public holidays, waking nights and sleep-ins, depending on service needs and your availability.
