Typical shift as a Flexible Bank Worker
• As a support worker, you will help to develop customers independence: Helping to achieve the goals, aspirations and outcomes documented in support plans.

• Cuppas, chats and catch ups. There’s no rushing from one customer to the next here.
• You’ll manage the health and safety of the building, patrolling to check fire doors, making sure everything is locked and secure.
• If there is time, you’ll also help us make sure that everything is clean and tidy, so you need to be ok with wielding the mop or broom as well!
• There is so much more involved than just (night working), stuck in an office monitoring CCTV or patrolling the premises.
• You will be required to think on your feet and manage situations on the spot. This could include investigating suspicious activity or raising the alarm when we need to engage the emergency services. Raising safeguarding alerts to Home Group teams is paramount as a support worker and/or concierge.
