City of York Council is looking for a highly motivated, committed, and enthusiastic individual to join our National Award-Winning Falls Prevention and Handyperson Team, as we continue to fulfil our commitment to provide and support healthy and sustainable housing in York.
The team is recruiting a Falls Prevention Practitioner for this role, which provides an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward thinking and proactive team that supports residents to live safely in their own homes, by delivering a dedicated Falls Prevention Service.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.
