We have an exciting opportunity for Bank/Casual staff to join our care team in Newport.

Our pool of Bank staff are vital to ensure that our services are resourced by experienced and familiar staff during periods of expected and unexpected absence (eg holidays, training or sickness).

You will be a dedicated worker who is perhaps not able to join the permanent staff due to other commitments, but would like to be part of the Achieve together family.

You will work on a non-guaranteed hours contract, and called upon (sometimes at short notice) to provide cover to services in your local area.  You will be paid each month for the hours you have worked during the previous month.

This position is ideal for someone looking for more flexibility with the hours they can work.

Does this sound like something you could do?

Your duties will include:

  • Supporting individuals to plan and engage in activities in line with their individualised activity planner, which could include holidays, social events, religious and sporting activities, education and employment.
  • Maintain the general health, wellbeing and emotional needs of the people we support.
  • Encouraging individuals to access a range of opportunities and experiences.
