Relief Support Practitioners
£13.45 per hour.
We are recruiting enthusiastic and compassionate Support Workers to join our friendly team at our St Andrews service. We support around 20 individuals living independently in their own flats, helping them with their day‑to‑day lives so they can live as independently and confidently as possible. All flats are located within the same building, creating a welcoming community feel and meaning there is no travel between sites, there is always a supportive staff team on hand.
Responsibilities
* Work with colleagues as part of an effective and efficient team to support vulnerable people.
* Communicate and work well with our supported people to provide individual care and maintain appropriate relationships.
* Be responsible in supporting individuals throughout the activities, giving positive feedback and encouragement.
* Update and maintain accurate records using a tablet on the Arks Information Management system.
What is Relief?
As a Relief Support Practitioner, you do not have contracted hours. This provides flexibility, allowing you to pick up shifts that suit your availability. Relief work is offered on an as‑and‑when basis to cover sickness absence, study leave, and other staffing needs. We cannot guarantee regular or ongoing work, as the demand for relief staffing may vary over time.
Why Ark?
* No Previous Experience Required – Ark provides full training.
* Flexibility to fit shifts around your life.
* Employee Assistance Programme – access to counselling sessions, webinars, and an EAP website & app.
* Employee Discounts – portal with discounts on supermarkets, cinema tickets, gym memberships and holidays.
Benefits
* Statutory annual leave paid monthly based on the hours you work.
* Fully funded PVG & 1st year SSSC registration paid by Ark.
Previous experience of the following is an advantage but not essential as Ark will provide full training. This role may also be referred to as Support Worker, Care Assistant or Care Worker in other organisations.
