BDS have an exciting opportunity for a mobile responder to form part of a response service in the Berkshire area.
The post holder will work from home and respond to emergency call outs and welfare checks to older adults in their own homes. The service supports clients who have had telecare equipment installed. The role holder will respond to calls that have been screened and triaged and an operator feels a physical response is required. All equipment needed for the role is provided.
There is no personal care involved.
The working pattern is 3 days on and 6 days off on a twenty four hour rolling rota. You will be an approachable and empathetic person who is flexible, committed and reliable. Experience in a social care or housing background would be an advantage though not essential for the right person.
A full driving license will be required. For an ideal logistical fit you will live closely to Reading.
The rate of pay is 55.00 per day on-call retainer plus 11.44 for three guaranteed hours (89.32 per day) regardless if you work these hours or not. Any over time is paid at 11.44 per hour and bank holidays are paid at enhanced rates.
Please apply with your CV in the first instance or contact Louise to discuss further.
