The Vacancy

Are you looking for a role where no two days are the same, but most importantly where the work you do has a massive impact on people’s lives?

Then being a Support Worker could be the perfect job for you!

The Wilf Ward Family Trust has some great opportunities for you to join our team at one of our registered services, Sherburn House in Knaresborough. Sherburn House is a complex care service, and we support people with profound learning disabilities and complex physical health needs.

We currently have 3 lovely ladies and 6 fantastic gentlemen living with us, ranging from 19 – 60 years old.

We are a 24-hour service and offer support throughout the day and night. There is an abundance of activities that can take place within Sherburn House, and we have visitors who come and bring the fun to us. There is also the lovely little town of Knaresborough, which has lots of nice sights to see and things to do. Sherburn House also has several adapted vehicles so people can go out and about into the wider community to access other activities and different experiences.

No two days are the same, which makes the role exciting, but some day-to-day duties include:

1. Attend activities and events with individuals.
2. Assist with meal preparation and medication management.
3. Support individuals with household tasks, such as cleaning and laundry.
4. Monitor and report any changes in physical or mental health to appropriate staff members.
5. Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of care provided.
6. Provide personal care to individuals, including bathing, dressing, and toileting.

We have a fantastic training programme that will give you the skills and knowledge you need to excel in this role. What we do need is someone with a compassionate and caring nature, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to work independently and as part of a team, and a willingness to undergo relevant training and development.
