Support Worker, Skipton (New Service)
Looking for a fulfilling and rewarding job that works for you?
We’re currently looking for Support Workers, to work primarily at our new service based in Sutton-In-Craven. The person we support is enthusiastic about animals (especially dogs), photography, exploring the outdoors, and living her life to the fullest. She’s looking for support workers who can share her interests, and who can support and encourage her independence in everyday life. Applicants must be over the age of 25*, hold a full-UK Driving Licence and be comfortable driving the person we support’s mobility vehicle.
Support duties will include:
- Providing personal care as required, including stoma care
- Administering medication
- Supporting to pursue hobbies and enjoy a full social life
- Domestic duties including cooking and helping the person we support to care for her home
- Working closely and co-operatively with colleagues within the support team
Although you will primarily be based within this package, there will be an expectation to work at services across our Skipton Locality as required. This is a varied and meaningful role where you will be helping the people you support to live the life they choose.
Available shift patterns are varied, with hours of work which can include weekdays, weekends, evenings, and sleepover shifts. We’re therefore open to applicants requiring full-time or part-time hours. Your availability, and any pre-existing commitments you may have, will be discussed at interview stage.
We’re looking for compassionate and caring individuals who are enthusiastic about making a difference to people’s lives. Previous care experience is preferable; however, our in-house training team will ensure that you have all the skills you need to deliver your role with confidence. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain and develop life-long skills!
