We’ve already mentioned a few of the benefits David Lewis has to offer. But here are, what we feel, are the main reasons we’re one of the largest employers in the area.
Variety
Full time roles are based on 37.5 hours per week. Care Officers work 5 early and late shifts over 7 days. Your hours and days of work will be explained during the interview process, if you're successfully shortlisted.
Term Time Only positions entail working full time hours, over 5 shifts during the academic year, with time off during the school/college holidays.
Bank staff positions are offered on an "as required" basis, working during times of increased demand. Shifts often become available at short notice, therefore flexibility is essential.
Contracts are offered for either day time or night shift working. Start and finishing times for Care Officers vary, but here are some examples:
| Shift Pattern 1 |
Shift Pattern 2 |
| Early 7.30am - 4.30pm |
Early 7.30am - 3pm |
| Late 4pm - 10pm |
Late 2pm - 9.30pm |
| Night 9.45pm - 7.45am |
Night 9pm - 7.45am |
Development
