Female Support Worker, Harrogate (New Supported Living Service)
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About The Role
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.
Available shift patterns are varied, with hours of work which can include weekdays, weekends, evening, 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.
Although you will primarily be based within this package, there will be an expectation to work at services across our Harrogate Locality as required.
About You
Previous care experience is desirable but not essential. Ideally you will have experience of supporting individuals with autism and mental health needs. Our inhouse training team will ensure that you have all the additional skills you need to deliver your role with confidence. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain and develop life-long skills
