We're hiring Locum Project Workers for our day centre

Catching Lives is recruiting to its team of Locum Project Workers.

Locum Project Workers support the smooth running of the day centre, especially during our morning drop-in sessions. The role includes practical tasks (e.g. helping people to access food, laundry and bag storage services), alongside engagement with people using the service to create a friendly, safe and welcoming space.

Employed on a zero hours contract, Locum Project Workers are offered occasional shifts throughout the year to cover for staff holidays or other absence. We offer paid induction, core training and clear organisational policies. Locums always work as part of a team, so it's a great way to develop skills and experience in a small community charity. Perhaps you're looking for occasional work alongside studies or other commitments, or finding employment after time out, or thinking about a career change - we'd love to hear from you!

Salary: £12.60 per hour plus holiday pay. We are an accredited Living Wage Foundation employer.

Location: Catching Lives, Station Road East, Canterbury CT1 2RB.

Hours: between 8.30am-4.30pm Monday to Sunday. Applicants don't have to be available every day of the week. This role is subject to DBS and references.
