We’re looking for caring, confident people to support a lovely young woman with complex needs near Siddal.

🦸‍♀️ All genders welcome
🚗 Drivers needed – you’ll be doing drop-offs and pick-ups at a local day centre in a mobility van (manual licence required)
💓 You’ll be working closely with her very supportive family, with full shadowing and training for any delegated nursing tasks

🕒 Support times:
Morning: around 7–10am (later starts on some days!)
Afternoon: around 3–9pm

If you’re based near Halifax and looking for meaningful, well-supported work that really makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you!

Imagine a kind of care you can depend on - steady from day to day.

Imagine a kind of care where you get to know someone and share in their life, memories, and passions.

Imagine a kind of care that goes beyond the routine - one that recognises you as a person with social and emotional needs, looking for connection.

Imagine a kind of care where people don’t just get by, but flourish.

If, like us, you imagine a better kind of care - and want to see and feel what that looks like - we’d love to talk to you.

If you have experience in care and support – particularly supporting autistic people or people with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile – and you’re looking for work in Hebden Bridge, we’d love to chat with you!

There are plenty of hours available for people with the right experience and approach, and there may be two or three positions available within one team alone.

As a co-op that puts the relationship between the person giving and the person receiving support at the centre of everything we do, we work a little differently from other agencies. We’re changing the way care and support are understood and experienced.

We’re also a Real Living Wage Employer and offer free online training during onboarding, so you can work towards your Care Certificate even before you start.

💚 Join a care co-operative where you can work with us, not for us.

Are you a family member or care giver of loved ones living with Dementia? Do you know about Safe and Found Online?

The online platform allows users to create a profile which stores vital information such as photographs and medication required and is immediately accessible to the police in the event they go missing.

It is a digital version of the Herbert Protocol and can be regularly updated, increasing the chances of a successful search.
