3355 - Assistant Project Workers (As & When Required) - Choices for Children

Short break care (sometimes called respite care) gives young people an opportunity to have fun, share experiences and socialise outside of their home life while giving their parents or carers a brief break from caring. Our short break support includes after-school and weekend activities in the community and overnight stays for children in approved carers' homes. Home Links works in partnership with Belfast Health & Social Care Trust and provides services to families living in the greater Belfast area.

This is an As and When Required post.  The work will take place mainly after 3.30pm on weekdays and in some cases at weekends. You will be required to work with each child for 3 hours per session. Sessions involve meeting the child at their home and taking them to an activity they enjoy. You will have the option to work from 1 to 3 sessions per week depending on your availability.  You will be paid for an additional 15mins admin time for each session worked. You will also receive paid holiday at the rate of 1 hour paid holiday for every 9.29 hours worked.
