The Vacancy
Are you looking for a role where no two days are the same, but most importantly where the work you do has a massive impact on people’s lives?
Then being a Support Worker could be the perfect job for you!
The Wilf Ward Family Trust has some great opportunities for you to join our team at one of our registered services, Sherburn House in Knaresborough. Sherburn House is a complex care service, and we support people with profound learning disabilities and complex physical health needs.

We are a 24-hour service and offer support throughout the day and night. There is an abundance of activities that can take place within Sherburn House, and we have visitors who come and bring the fun to us. There is also the lovely little town of Knaresborough, which has lots of nice sights to see and things to do. Sherburn House also has several adapted vehicles so people can go out and about into the wider community to access other activities and different experiences.
No two days are the same, which makes the role exciting, but some day-to-day duties include:
1. Attend activities and events with individuals.
2. Assist with meal preparation and medication management.
3. Support individuals with household tasks, such as cleaning and laundry.
4. Monitor and report any changes in physical or mental health to appropriate staff members.
