AI Summary

The On-Call Support Worker acts as the primary point of contact for care staff and clients outside of standard office hours to provide guidance and resolve urgent scheduling issues. They are also responsible for logging information accurately and performing occasional emergency in-field visits when necessary.

We’re looking for a calm, reliable and caring person to join our team as an On‑Call Support Worker. This is a flexible, home‑based role supporting our care team and clients outside of standard office hours.

You don’t need to be sat at a desk — you can be at home or out locally (within 10 miles of our office area). You simply need to be contactable and ready to take calls if they come through.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys responsibility, problem‑solving and supporting others, but also values flexibility and independence.

Pay & Allowance

  • £100 per week on‑call allowance (covers availability across the rota)

  • £12.71 per hour for any active work (calls, scheduling, emergency visits)

  • Mileage paid for any emergency in‑field visits

What the Role Involves - During your on‑call shifts, you’ll be the first point of contact for:

  • CareAngels needing support or guidance

  • Clients or family members calling with queries or concerns

  • Urgent scheduling issues (e.g., sickness, delays, last‑minute changes)

  • Logging information accurately into our systems

  • Liaising with the Registered Manager if a situation requires escalation

Emergency In‑Field Support - Although the role is primarily home‑based, you must be a driver with access to your own car, as you may occasionally need to attend urgent in‑field visits, such as:

  • Welfare checks

  • Supporting a carer who is delayed or stuck

  • Ensuring a client is not left without essential care

These situations are not frequent, but when they arise, you’ll be the calm, capable person who steps in to keep clients safe.

Working Pattern (Two‑Week Rota) - Your on‑call shifts follow a repeating two‑week pattern:

Week One

  • Mon: 17:00–22:00 (5 hrs)

  • Tue: 06:00–09:00 & 17:00–22:00 (8 hrs)

This rota averages 33.5 hours of availability per week, with a balance of responsibility, flexibility and rest days.

  • stays calm under pressure

  • enjoys helping people

  • is confident making decisions

  • is organised and reliable

  • communicates clearly and kindly

  • is a driver with access to a car
