    Full-Time Pattern

    A typical full time Responder shift pattern comprises of 8 weeks of 2-day shifts, followed by 2-night shifts with a 4-day break before the pattern repeats.

    Every 9 weeks all Responders enter a float period picking up 42 hours of shifts across a 14-day period.

    There are 2 posts available:

    Post 1 - Permanent

    The hours of work are 29.4 per week on a set pattern (as above typical Responder-full-time).

    You must be able to demonstrate good communication skills particularly in relation to older and vulnerable customers and will need to liaise with a variety of staff, external agencies, and family members in a polite, concise, and understanding manner. Teamwork is vital to ensure the service runs smoothly, you will need to be able to work closely with your colleagues with sometimes limited supervision due to the 24/7 operational hours. You must be able to think on your feet, be decisive and have the ability to respond quickly where necessary.
