Make Care Matter – because small things make a huge difference

Working in care is far more than just a job. It is interaction, communication and relationship building. The enjoyment of activities, sharing of stories and memories, all whilst learning from the vast life experience of the people you support.

We are currently looking for care workers to join us at Sycamore Hall based in Bainbridge.

As a Care and Support Worker, no two days are the same. Your role will be to deliver care and support plans whilst continuing to encourage people to remain independent and in control of their own well‑being. Working as part of a small, supportive team, you will work under clear instructions and guidance from senior colleagues.

The role is locality based allowing you flexibility in your work. Whilst your main base will be Sycamore Hall, you will have the opportunity to work at other facilities across the location on occasion.

There is an element of flexibility required for the role and as part of a 7‑day service, on a rota basis, you will be required to work some evenings and weekends for which we will pay an enhancement. We could help you to achieve a better work‑life balance, perhaps enabling you to pursue other employment, hobbies or interests outside of work.

If you’ve got experience, that’s great, we’d love to hear from you. If not, don’t worry, we’ll give you all the help and support you need to settle in quickly. If you do not already hold the Level 2 qualification in Health and Social Care that isn’t a problem, we will support you to achieve this through our apprenticeship training route.

At NYC we provide a wide range of staff benefits, some of which include:

• Starting salary dependent on experience and qualifications
• Training and support which will include minimum training to Level 2 in Social Care
• Competitive rate of pay with pay progression
• Access to range of salary sacrifice schemes and discounts including green car scheme, childcare vouchers and home

Enhanced Level DBS Disclosure is required for appointment to this post.

It is a criminal offence for people who are barred from working in Regulated Activity (under the Safeguarding and Vulnerable Groups Act 2006) to apply for roles that require them to work unsupervised with adults at risk.

We are committed to the inclusion, safeguarding, and promoting the welfare of adults at risk.

NYC are committed to directly recruiting staff and will not accept applications nor services from agency suppliers in respect of our vacancies.

We are committed to meeting the needs of our diverse community and aim to have a workforce reflecting this diversity. We are also committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

North Yorkshire Councils’ purpose is to deliver services and facilities to the diverse residents and visitors of North Yorkshire. To ensure we deliver inclusive services we strive to have a diverse workforce where everybody can be themselves by respecting differences and embedding equality of opportunity. We celebrate diversity and recognise each other’s contributions; we therefore welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
