Social care has been prominent in the media during recent months and has highlighted the amazing role that care support staff play in our community.
As a result of increasing demands for our service, an exciting opportunity has arisen for Relief Mobile Care Support Staff to join our award- winning Home First team.
Working closely with our NHS colleagues, we are responsive to the needs of our customers by supporting the prevention of hospital admission and facilitating hospital discharge by providing short-term assessment support to people in their own homes and within our integrated Assessment Hubs at Perth House.
We look after some of the most vulnerable and frail people in our community who have been discharged from hospital, or for those who experience a short period of ill health enabling them to stay at home rather than be in a hospital bed. We assess customer’s needs and work with them to be as independent as possible.
Working as part of our valued and vibrant care support team working 4 days on/4 days off you'll be ensuring our customers are supported in assisting them with everyday tasks such as washing and dressing, meal preparation and medication. Working in this fast-paced team you'll work closely with social care practitioners and health care professionals.
Whether you have looked after family members, looking for a new career path or professional care experience, are over 18 years of age and possess: -
 Desire to make a difference
 A 'can do attitude' and open mind.
 Caring nature
 Reliable and flexible
 Willingness to learn
 Good level of written and spoken English
 A right to work in the UK.
We definitely want to hear from you and in return we will provide you with:
Initial and ongoing training which will support you to further develop your skills
 Care Certificate training
 Career development pathway.
 Free DBS check
 Access to Blue Light Discount Card Scheme
 Support from our management team.
 Generous holiday pay.
 Uniform.
 Benefits associated as employees of Derby City Council.
The positions available do require candidates who have a full UK driving licence and access to a car or motorcycle for business use. We pay a generous mileage allowance and travel time between calls.
If you are interested in joining our team, please let us know and tell us about how you can be a great Support Worker on our application form and we look forward to hearing from you.
If you have any queries, please email: Sue.bliss@derby.gov.uk and we will be in touch with you.
Here are some comments from our staff team:
‘Relief work really suits me as I can pick the shift I am available for and sometimes choose to work full time one week and only a few hours the next – its great’
‘I like getting out and about in the community and seeing customers so happy to be at home.’
‘I find my job very rewarding that I have had a hand in helping customers with their recovery.’
‘We get lots of thank you cards which shows that customers really do appreciate the work we do.’
‘I have the right training to enable me to fulfil my role.’
‘It really is great to work with Home First and be given opportunity for promotion.’
As part of our safer recruitment checks the successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
All employees will normally be appointed to the minimum of the grade for the job. For reasons connected with a particular need of the Council it may be appropriate, subject to approval, to appoint to a higher point in the pay grade.
Please be aware that where there are staff within the organisation who are 'at risk' of redundancy, requirements to redeploy to another suitable role will apply and take priority.
Before you complete your application form please read our guidance on filling in your application form.
