IDIDIT Health and Social Care Wellbeing Solutions are a new Supported Living Support and Care Company, and we are looking for staff to work with us to support two amazing young ladies who are moving into their very own home in the Yeadon/Guiseley area.
Working as a Learning Disability Support Worker no two days are ever the same: you'll be part of a friendly, supportive, and forward-thinking new company from the start supporting two wonderful young ladies with Learning Disabilities.
You need to be enthusiastic and creative about participating with and supporting these ladies with their hobbies and interests which can include a whole array of different activities. While having experience in supporting clients with learning disability, autism and challenging behaviours is something we are interested in – we are just as interested in your values and why you want to do this role and work with us.
You will receive excellent training, opportunities for development and have a helpful team behind you to support you every step of the way.

We are looking to fill these vacancies as soon as possible, so reserve the right to close our advert early if we find suitable candidates before the closing date. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
