Salary:	£6.79 per hour

If you are someone who has time to spare, retired, studying, or in-between jobs then this may interest you. We are looking for reserve support workers to assist within services that provide support to people that have learning difficulties or mental health.

You will need to be reliable, trustworthy and be an excellent communicator. If you have a range of hobbies and interests that may appeal to others and a good sense of humour this is the job for you!!!!

Training and support will be provided. However, these posts could require you to work alone for the time you are on shift. Support and guidance would be given around this.
