couple of job questions

Ive seen two jobs advertised.I have emailed for details but not heard. Anyway want to know what a casual support worker is. I am assuming this is not a fixed number of hours per week?

Also £11.848 pa for a 30 hour a week post isnt much is it?

    I would expect a casual support worker post to be 'as and when', without a fixed number of hours.

    £11.848 pa for a 30 hour a week post is £13,822 for a 35 hour post. Not much, as you say - but support workers aren't paid much :(

    thanks, the 11,848 was for an admin post not a support worker.
