Summary

Come and be part of something new and exciting — supporting people to achieve their best lives.

Avalon Group is opening a brand-new supported living service in the heart of Harrogate, and we’re looking for caring, motivated people to join us on this exciting journey. This is a brilliant opportunity to help shape a new service from day one, supporting people with autism and individuals with mental health needs to live truly fulfilling, gloriously ordinary lives.

Due to support needs applicants must be female (this is a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010). You must hold a full-UK Driving Licence with access to your own vehicle which can be used for work purposes.

As a Support Worker, you will:

Work alongside people to achieve their goals, build confidence and develop daily living skills

Support people with personal care, medication, emotional wellbeing and routines that promote independence

Build meaningful relationships and create a warm, supportive home environment

Enable people to access their community, try new things and take positive steps in their lives

Work collaboratively with families, professionals and your team

Play a vital role in shaping a brand-new supported living service based on excellent practice

Every day will be purposeful, varied and centred around what matters to the person.

Although you will primarily be based within this package, there will be an expectation to work at services across our Harrogate Locality as required.

What we offer

Enhanced rates for weekends, evenings, and sleepover shifts

Comprehensive induction and ongoing training (aligned to Skills for Care)

Supportive local leadership and development opportunities

Employee benefits including pension, wellbeing support, a wider wallet scheme and recognition schemes

The chance to be part of a brand-new service and shape something meaningful

If you’re excited by this opportunity and want to be part of something new in Harrogate, we’d love to hear from you.
