Mobile Responder

Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference in people's lives? Join our Urgent Care & Telecare Response Team as a Mobile Responder, supporting people across Wiltshire in staying in their homes and avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions.

As a Mobile Responder, you'll respond to urgent situations and Telecare alerts, providing personal care, meal preparation and other support to help people in an emergency. We need someone who is empathetic, dependable, and comfortable working independently and as part of a team. You'll work shifts, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays with additional payments for unsocial hours, and travel across Wiltshire to deliver timely and compassionate care.

We are looking for someone with a caring nature and a genuine understanding of the needs of elderly people or those with disabilities. No formal qualifications are required, but you must be willing to complete Care Certificate training if you haven't already done so. Good communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to manage your workload effectively are important for success in this role.

If you're ready for a meaningful job where every day matters, apply now and join our supportive team.
