Would you like to join our warm and welcoming support team at Tawny Lodge?
Tawny Lodge is a small, short breaks service situated in the centre of Selby, with capacity to support four individuals with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and complex needs from 18 years old onwards.
We are currently looking to recruit a Learning Disability Support Worker to join our team on an annualised contract, could this be you?
The shifts would be 10 hours a night from 9:30pm – 7:30am, working with another staff member at all times. You will be offering 1-1 support for two individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs, including PEG and epilepsy.

At North Yorkshire Council we provide a wide range of staff benefits, some of which include:
* Enhancement for weekend working / night working
