Roles and benefits of casual bank working
Why choose casual bank work with West Sussex?
“From a retiree perspective I have found being on the casual bank so helpful. I can fit work flexibly around family commitments whilst continuing to earn money (which was particularly helpful when my water tank burst!)”

Successful applicants will have a desire to work flexibly, perhaps around studies or other commitments. With NVQ 3 or equivalent in Health and Social Care, you will be adaptable and enthusiastic, caring and compassionate with a can-do attitude. If you have a passion for adults' social work this is a great starting point in your career.

Our casual bank social workers are experienced and bring many skills to the team, utilising the flexibility and freedom of our casual bank. You will be able to hit the ground running, with a desire to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable adults and their families.
