Support Workers

Location: Whitby

Pay: £12.35 per hour

Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week

Job Type: Permanent

Join Our Warm, Welcoming Team at Caedmon House!

Caedmon House is a bright, friendly 9-bed home supporting individuals with a range of needs, including nonverbal communication and behaviours that may be challenging. Our residents are curious, fun, playful, and love a good party, day out, or simply a cuppa and a chat. Some even enjoy volunteering at a local farm!

We’re looking for Support Workers who are positive, patient, proactive, engaging and person-centred—people who can think outside the box, bring a warm smile, and happily work weekends to support our vibrant home.

Caedmon House was once a Whitby hotel and still carries that charm. It’s now a beautifully refurbished home sitting right next to the seafront on the popular West Cliff. With beaches, shops, parks, the Pavilion, and leisure activities all within walking distance, it’s an amazing place to work and support people to live fulfilling lives.

No Experience Needed

If you have a compassionate nature and a can-do attitude, we’ll give you all the training, tools, and confidence you need to thrive.

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same! You’ll support residents to live as independently as possible, at home and out in the community. Duties may include:

Providing companionship and building strong relationships
Supporting activities, hobbies, and trips out
Assisting with mobility and personal care
Monitoring, recording, and administering medication
Light household tasks
Shopping support
Food preparation
Communicating with colleagues to ensure great continuity of care

Being a driver is helpful but not essential; many of our fantastic team do not drive.

Benefits

Competitive annual leave (increasing with service)
Flexible working for great work–life balance
Company pension with auto-enrolment
Employee Assistance Programme (24/7 mental health & GP support)
Lifestyle savings across shops, supermarkets and utilities
Discounted health cash plan
Holiday purchasing scheme (buy up to 1 extra week per year)
Regular company events
£500 welcome bonus after passing probation
And more!

Please note: we do not offer sponsorship.
