Social Care Worker (Social Care Bank)

Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our established social care bank, allowing you to work in a variety of care settings across Angus.

You will help us to ensure we have the right staffing levels in the right settings, ensuring we fulfil our obligations to the people we care for.

Although there is no guaranteed or minimum level of work, as a social care bank worker, you will be offered assignments on an “as required basis” and will have flexibility as to which assignments you accept.

Please see attached document “Care Settings” for further details and information.

We are looking for people with a passion for care and a genuine interest in working with people in a caring environment, where you will gain a wealth of experience and knowledge. You will be supported by managers and other professionals to help you work effectively with the individuals in our care.

Hours are worked on a supply basis, as and when required. Hours are worked on a rota system covering 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You may therefore be asked to carry out weekend work and night duties for which an allowance is payable.

Although you may be asked to work within any of our care settings within the Angus Health & Social Care Partnership, a discussion will take place at interview regarding your preferred area of work. This will be determined by your qualifications, SSSC registration and ability to drive.

Requirements
