It’s a career that you can take pride in. Our Care Home service, known as Community Houses, has rapidly expanded with 4 sites across Keighley that offer a step-down service to adults with complex mental health needs. We are a unique service which offers enhanced care to our Service Users to continue with their rehabilitation journey, including physical health monitoring with support from local medical services. Each service is a large residential house with an office and is where you will help our Service Users to carry out routine daily tasks - everything from help with cooking, cleaning, activities in the community and encouraging independent living in their future.

We have a 4-tier working structure and all Senior Support Workers are on one level. You will report to a Team Leader with the Registered Manager and Deputy on-site daily who can be approached for support, questions and anything else you will need. The last staff survey identified that at our staff answered yes to the question ‘I feel well supported by my line manager. You will work across all four houses and encourage our Service Users to lead a full and valued life, helping them to live more independently, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. It can at times be a challenging environment, but regular feedback from staff is that it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn’t do last week - because of you.
