What is a Relief Support Practitioner?

As a Relief Support Practitioner, you do not have contracted hours. This provides flexibility, allowing you to pick up shifts that suit your availability.

Please note: Relief work is offered on an as and when basis to cover sickness absence, study leave, and other staffing needs. We cannot guarantee regular or ongoing work, as the demand for relief staffing may vary over time.

In return for your valuable contribution, Ark will also offer you:

• Statutory annual leave paid monthly based on the hours you work.
• Fully funded PVG & 1st year SSSC registration paid by Ark.

Our employees told us in a recent survey that they stay with Ark because they believe in our values, we have supportive managers who continually appreciate their staff and they love making a positive difference in our supported peoples lives, helping them to achieve their dreams.

Ark would love to hear from you whether you are experienced or new to Social Care.
