“What we do changes lives in small but powerful ways.”
Our team sees the impact of their kindness every day. If you’re someone who leads with empathy and wants to support people in living confidently and independently, we’d love to hear from you.
A home, not just a service
Our Wharfedale House service is home to sixteen adults with physical disabilities. Our service feels like family – relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate: from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.
Your working hours
40.5 hours per week over 4 days per week.
Shifts:
3 long days - 11.5 hours per day - 8.30am - 8.30pm
1 short day - 6 hours - 8.30am - 2.30pm and 2.30pm - 8.30pm
You’ll need to be flexible to work all shifts including on weekends as part of a rota.
Why you’ll love working here
As well as supporting your wellbeing and career development, we offer a fantastic benefits package, including:
• 28 days holiday per annum inclusive of bank holidays (+1 day every year up to 33 days)
• Stream: Access up to 40% of your pay before payday
• Free Blue Light Card: Enjoy exclusive discounts and perks
• Contributory Pension Scheme with competitive life cover

From 1 December 2025 new enhancement rates of £1.00 per hour will only apply to night working (from 8pm - 8.30pm) and weekend working (8pm Friday to 7am Monday). This does not apply to Sleep-Ins.
What you’ll do
• Support with daily living tasks such as personal care, mealtimes, and medication
• Encourage independence through a person-centred approach
• Accompany people to appointments, events, and community activities
• Keep clear, accurate records
• Most importantly – help each person live life on their own terms
No previous care experience? No problem – we’ll give you all the training you need.
What helps you shine here
• Previous experience as a support worker with learning disabilities
• Warm, friendly and empathetic approach
• Willingness to work flexibly, including weekends
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• Personal care experience (helpful, but not essential)
• A genuine desire to help others and make a difference
