Description
The job itself
The Carer Relief service supports people living with dementia and their carers within the community.
This service allows the carer to have quality time away from their caring role. The length of support can be either a couple of hours or a full day depending on the persons carers needs.
The Carer's Emergency Cover is a crucial part of the service. You will be supporting the cared for person to remain in their own home environment, in the event of the carer being taken out of their caring role due to an unplanned emergency.
We are recruiting to positions which will cover the whole of the East Riding therefore it is essential that you can drive and have a car accessible when at work.

In addition to the 20 hours, you are expected to take part in the oncall rota which can be a maximum of 12 hours known as an Emergency Standby. This attracts a stand by allowance, plus additional pay for all hours worked when called out.
If you feel you can make a difference to vulnerable people and their carers living in in their own homes, and you are caring, enthusiastic and motivated then this job is for you.
