With national partnerships with large care agencies and many relationships with local care organisations and charities we are continually looking for skilled Support Workers to pick up temporary and adhoc night shifts in the Exeter Area. We have a number of sites across Exeter Teignmouth and Torquay where we currently have a demand for over night cover.

Through working with Hays, you will have the opportunity to work with some of the best care providers in Devon based in residential/care homes and supported living settings.
