Could you be the person who makes a real difference to someone's life?

Are you a naturally caring, positive and friendly person who enjoys making connections, having a laugh and helping others get the most out of life?

The Wilf Ward Family Trust is looking for a kind, compassionate and enthusiastic Support Worker to join our team in Pickering.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a welcoming team, supporting three gentlemen in their 30s to enjoy active, fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Whether you have previous experience in care or are looking for a rewarding new career, we'd love to hear from you!

What We Offer

At The Wilf Ward Family Trust, we believe that great support starts with supporting our teams. When you join us, you'll receive:

  • Up to 33 days' holiday
  • Fully funded, recognised qualifications
  • Clear career pathways and development opportunities
  • Rewards platform and Blue Light Scheme
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
  • Pension scheme
  • Full training and ongoing development
  • The opportunity to be part of a genuinely supportive and caring team

About the Service

The service is a warm and welcoming three-bedroom bungalow situated on the outskirts of the beautiful market town of Pickering. It is home to three gentlemen in their 30s, each with their own personalities, interests and aspirations.

The home has three individual bedrooms, a spacious kitchen-diner, a comfortable lounge, shared bathrooms and a lovely rear garden. It is a home shaped around the people who live there, reflecting their personalities, interests and preferences. It really feels like a home, not a workplace.

The gentlemen are active, sociable and full of personality. They enjoy busy lifestyles, getting out into their local community, taking part in activities and making the most of everyday life. They have great senses of humour and enjoy spending time with people who are friendly, positive and can share a laugh.

Every day is different, and one of the most rewarding parts of the role will be getting to know each gentleman as an individual, understanding what matters to them and supporting them to live life their way.

About the Role

As a Support Worker, you'll provide person-centred support tailored to each gentleman's individual needs, promoting dignity, independence, choice and wellbeing.

Support may include:

  • Planning and preparing meals
  • Providing personal care
  • Supporting with medication
  • Moving and handling support
  • Maintaining and running the home
  • Supporting access to community activities and outings
  • Promoting health and wellbeing
  • Providing reassurance and emotional support
  • Supporting everyday life skills and routines

Although some physical support is required, the gentlemen are encouraged to make their own choices and maintain as much independence as possible.

Our approach is about much more than providing care. It's about building relationships, encouraging independence, developing confidence, learning new skills and helping people achieve their goals and aspirations.

You'll be supporting the gentlemen to do things for themselves wherever possible, explore new opportunities and enjoy the things that are important to them.

What We're Looking For

You don't need previous experience in care. What matters most is your attitude, personality and willingness to make a difference.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Kind, caring and compassionate
  • Patient, understanding and empathetic
  • Friendly, approachable and positive
  • Reliable and committed
  • A good communicator
  • Confident in building positive relationships
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
  • Flexible and willing to learn
  • Someone who enjoys getting involved, having a laugh and making everyday moments matter
  • Passionate about supporting people to achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives

A driver is preferred.

Previous care experience is welcome but not essential. We provide a comprehensive training programme, giving you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to succeed.

Shift Patterns

This is a 28-hour per week part-time position.

Shifts will include a mixture of:

  • Early shifts
  • Late shifts
  • Sleep-in shifts
  • Working every other weekend

Flexibility is essential as our services operate around the individual needs of the people we support.

Join Our Team

Imagine being part of someone's everyday achievements, sharing a laugh, supporting a new experience or simply making someone's day a little brighter.

At The Wilf Ward Family Trust, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life. Our Support Workers play a huge part in making that happen.

If you're looking for more than just a job, enjoy working with people and want to be part of a team where every person matters, we'd love to hear from you.
