Do you pride yourself in offering care and support that puts the service user at the very centre of decision making, to achieve their hopes and aspirations? Do you respect individuality and diversity, ensuring person centred care supports individuals to achieve fulfilling lives as part of their community? If you have these values and aptitude, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

We are looking for a Care Officer who can support the Registered Manager and Senior Care Officers in the day to day operational management of the Supported Housing Beverley based service. To do so you will need to demonstrate the ability to supervise and support others, whilst liaising with families and other care professionals, to ensure excellent outcomes for service users. As well as previous experience working in a care or community setting and you must have good awareness of fundamental care standards.
This is an opportunity to develop skills in an extremely rewarding role and in return you will be supported by an excellent manager and team to expand your knowledge, skills and experience and be provided with continuous training and development.
The role involves working shifts from 7am until 10pm and can include sleep-in duties for which an allowance is paid. You will also be expected to have a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle as driving for the role is required as some of the tenants we support live further afield within The East Riding.
