We are looking for a confident Care & Support Worker with a passion for delivering outstanding care.

You’ll be working 42 hours per week, 12 hour shifts, at Yorkshire Supported Living. You will be expected to work across all 4 sites, which are all located within Huddersfield.

We provide a supported living service in West Yorkshire at four different services in Huddersfield. The services provide specialist support for adults with learning disabilities, who may have behaviours that challenge and associated complex needs within their own accommodation.

Each accommodation offers individuals the opportunity to hold their own tenancy agreement with a Registered Housing Provider. Individuals who are supported in this service may have previously been detained within a hospital setting and are ready for a step down placement within their local community. We provide specialist input and risk assessment to manage and reduce high risk or offending behaviour for individuals stepping down from secure, forensic or long-stay settings.

At Cygnet, our perks go way beyond pension schemes and excellent professional development.

You’ll also enjoy shopping, travel and leisure discounts – as well as a range of healthcare and financial benefits – to support you to be happy both in and out of work.
