This is a flexible role with 2 hours contact time in the office/drop-in each week, and then up to a maximum of 15 hours office/service cover per week when one of the staff team has leave booked.

You’d get to know our clients and services well during your regular contact hours so that when you help to cover holidays you are a well-known face of SB&D Caring.
