Our Company policy on the operation of our rota system requires carers to be available seven days per week. However, if you are employed on a full time basis you will only be obliged to work five days minimum out of seven on a rotation.

You will be expected to be available between the hours of 06.00am and 23.00pm. Night sits are from 21.00pm until 07.00am. Full time carers will be expected to deliver between 35 and 45 hours per week, but extra hours could be available through working extra shifts on their days off, or by extra hours during the middle of the day.

The senior care Co-ordinator will decide which days each carer has off in each four weekly cycle. These will be allocated fairly and proportionally. Any carers needing to have a particular day off in any week must make a request at least 11 days in advance of the onset of week one of four weekly cycles. Dates of four weekly cycles in your area can be obtained through the office. No rostered runs can be handed back or refused without prior consultation and ultimate agreement from the Care Co-ordinator.

Part time carers will be expected to be available for five shifts over a seven day week and receive days off as allocated by a senior Care Co-ordinator. From time to time you may be asked to assist in covering calls on your allocated days off if this is agreeable.
