Overview
If you believe passionately that individuals with learning disabilities should have the right to live and work in the community, why not join Yarrow as a Support Worker. We believe that the people we support should have a voice – and a choice about the housing, care and support they receive. Join our team providing ground breaking person-centred services and you’ll be helping to discover that voice and provide that choice. You may already have experience in the field of learning disabilities. Perhaps you’ve looked after a family member. Or perhaps your compassion and passion are being under-used in your current job and you feel it’s time for a change. Our work involves providing personal care and in some instances this can involve intimate personal care. We offer attractive pay rates and there is scope to earn more depending on the level of personal care you are required to provide and also within our sleep-in services.
