Salary: £12.85 to £13.47 per hour

Grade: CD

Contract Type: Permanent

Vacancy Hours: 21 hours per week

Location: Whitby, North Yorkshire 

 

 

At Larpool Lane our priority is the people we support and making a difference to them.

 

We are currently looking to recruit a Care and Support Worker to join our team, and we are looking for people with the right values and behaviours to join us. Could this be you?

 

You don’t need to have previous experience of working in care, nor do you need qualifications, we would be delighted to work with you to help you become an excellent care worker.

 

Larpool Lane is a residential home where we provide care for up to 40 individuals.

 

We are keen to recruit someone who is passionate about working in care and who can help us ensure our workplace values are at the heart of everything we do.  Above all we want someone that shares our values.

 

 

These are:

 

• Dignity and respect
• Learning and reflection
• Working together
• Commitment to quality care and support

 

Are these values important to you? If so, we would love to hear from you!

 

We will give you all the training and support you need. You will be supported by us to make a difference by not only providing personal care to the people we support but supporting them to take part in a wide range of activities, promoting independence along the way. The duties are varied, and no two days will be the same. Our residents are individuals, and they all deserve to be treated as such.

 

 

At NYC we offer a range of benefits including:

 

• Extensive training and learning
• Opportunities for progression into other roles
• Potential to explore other specialisms such as learning disabilities and mental health
• Paid enhancements for any weekend or night working
• DBS clearance fully paid for by us
• Pay based on experience and qualifications, with the opportunity for progression
• Generous mileage allowance for any travel incurred as part of the role
• Access to a secure and flexible employee pension scheme
