As a Relief Worker, you could be working in Young People’s Services and/or Domestic Abuse & Gender Specific Services.
Relief can be a great way of finding out if you have what it takes to make a difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable & socially marginalised people in Wales.
A relief role means you can work around your existing commitments whilst gaining experience of working with the people we support, developing your skills in one or many of our psychologically informed supported housing environments?
PLEASE NOTE, you also need to consider that many of our supported environments require lone working, with a large number working to a 24-hour shift pattern; so ideally, we are looking for applicants who are eligible to work at least 24 hours a week.
Before you go it alone, your relief induction is tailored with the Project Manager to develop the skills & confidence to successfully lone work, including relevant training & shadowing experiences into the service and project where you would be working.
Llamau is ever expanding, we have a large & varied workforce with plenty of opportunities for career development, with many cutting their teeth as relief, before gaining a permanent role.
Your role will involve:
- Maintaining the safety & security of the project & the people living there; ensuring the expected standards of maintenance & cleanliness are met.
- Opportunities to engage, build professional, trusting & respectful relationships with the people we support.
- Excellent communication amongst the team & relevant partner agencies, recording & reporting all work as per procedure.
- Advocating on behalf of the people we support with statutory services, including Social Services, Health & Emergency Services.
Please Note

24-hour shift = day + sleep-over / £95.83 + £175.59 = £271.42 per shift

The Company
At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality.
30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.
Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation - a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter.
That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures.
Our Values
We are a values-led organisation which puts the people we support at the heart of the organisation. Our values mean that we can offer the highest quality support and empathy. Our values are:
- We Respect
- We Listen
- We Encourage
- We Learn
- We Don't Give Up
