Responder

BDS have an exciting opportunity for a mobile responder to form part of a response service in the Didcot area.

The post holder will work from home and respond to emergency call outs and welfare checks to older adults in their own homes. The service supports clients who have had telecare equipment installed. The role holder will respond to calls that have been screened and triaged and an operator feels a physical response is required. All equipment needed for the role is provided.

There is no personal care involved.

The working pattern is 3 days on and 6 days off on a twenty four hour rolling rota. You will be an approachable and empathetic person who is flexible, committed and reliable. Experience in a social care or housing background would be an advantage though not essential for the right person.

A full driving license will be required and all mileage will be paid at 45 pence

The rate of pay is 70.00 per day on-call retainer plus 15 for four guaranteed hours (130 per day) regardless if you work these hours or not. Any over time is paid at 15 per hour and bank holidays are paid at enhanced rates.
