We're on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. As a support worker with us you'll be helping people to gain more independence in their daily lives, whilst working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people!

Our supported living service in York is a welcoming and friendly environment and you can be sure that no two days will be the same! You'll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising and doing lots of activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in the local community, the next you could be unwinding with them at service.

This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone's life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.

We're interested in our Support Workers having the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, as well as being able to support individuals requiring enhanced support, including behaviour's of distress, mental health conditions, autism, forensic histories and people who may have experienced trauma.

Why choose us?

You don't need to have experience to be a fantastic Support Worker, what you need is a passion for enhancing the quality of life for the people we support, a desire to learn and a genuine caring attitude.

We embrace people's differences and encourage you to Be You, and so long as you've got the passion to make someone's life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career.

We encourage our staff to Grow Together through our excellent training programme, starting at induction and following you through your career, with opportunity for promotion and progression as well as job security in a sector leading organisation.
