Hours and pay
Ideally, we need people who can work at least 24 hours a week or more but can be flexible to work around the needs of people for shorter hours. Aspire is a Real Living Wage Employer and you will receive the current Real Living Wage for your area.

Help and Support
Everyone who works at Aspire must pass the Aspire Challenge which tests people on the Aspire Standards that are an essential part of our day to day work. Being able to work within a team and effectively communicate with employees, clients and other stakeholders is an integral part of the daily job and part of the ongoing development for each one of our employees. It is an essential part of working within Aspire and passing the Aspire Challenge.

Aspire does not expect every employee to pass the Aspire challenge immediately, but it selects people on the basis that it believes that they have the potential to be successful. This does not depend on current skills, formal education or qualifications but on a desire to do the best for themselves and for Aspire. Those who wish to, can choose to take a range of online courses to develop their communications and teamwork skills.
