Support Worker

The Penthouse and Crows Nest services, in Whitby, are situated within The Coliseum boasting picturesque views across the harbour. Rail and bus services are situated only yards away from The Coliseum.

As a Support Worker, you will provide person-centred care and support to tenants to take part in all aspects of everyday life and to enjoy a wide range of activities. The team works across both schemes and undertakes some outreach work to support individuals with a learning disability, some of whom have mental health needs.

You will have skills in positive communication and engagement and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for the people we support. You will need to be flexible and able to deliver support in all aspects of daily living and personal care in a dignified manner. The service provides support to meet individualised needs. The service requires shift work, which includes contributing to a 24-hour rota that includes sleepovers.
