About the Role
Age UK Devon’s Enabling and Home Support Service aims to enable older people to make the most of later life and stay independent in their own homes.
Our dedicated Home Support Assistants work in their local communities to help older people by providing companionship and pampering, enabling support attending appointments or activities, shopping (escorted and unescorted), organising household paperwork, providing time off for carers, meal planning and preparation, light cleaning and household, and help with basic pet care.
You will be joining a friendly team with supportive management who provide in house training and development to support you in your role. There is no tricky paperwork or timesheets to complete as our service operates digitally, so all scheduled visits and client information is accessed via an App on an Age UK Devon smartphone which is issued to each Home Support Assistant.
You will be entitled to 20 days of holiday per annum exclusive of bank holidays (calculated on a pro-rata basis for part time employees).
You will be entitled to sign up for:
- BUPA Employee Assistance Programme
- The Blue Light Discount Card
- Age UK Discounts Portal provided by Aon
- Tickets for Good
This post is a zero hours contract, which gives you the flexibility to work as many hours as you choose during our business hours, providing we have the clients in your area. Additional hours are often available for covering holiday leave and sickness.
