Are you a caring person who wants to make a difference and have a rewarding career?
Or are you already a dedicated support worker but looking for a change?
We are looking for Support Workers to help us fulfill lives at our residential service, Sunnybank (Airedale, Castleford WF10)!
At Millennium, we support vulnerable adults that may have a learning disability, autism, other complex needs, and may also display behaviours of distress. Starting as one service in Featherstone in 1998, we are now a growing and forward-thinking organisation that strives to make a positive mark on the Health and Social Care sector. We operate services across the Yorkshire and Warwickshire area that specialise in supporting adults with learning disabilities, Autism and complex trauma on their journeys through life and in the community. From transitioning from hospital to a safe new home to fostering friendships and building skills, we offer person-centred support tailored to support individuals no matter their circumstances.
We work in line with the Transforming Care Agenda and will support you to provide Positive Behaviour Support. This means the People We Support are provided with bespoke and person-centred support that will provide them with the foundations to gain further independence.
By following this model with us, you would be supporting people to gain life skills at home and in the community, which is an extremely rewarding opportunity as you will have a major impact on the lives of the People We Support by supporting them on their journey to further independence.
Experience is not essential, and you will receive full training around Autism, forensic risk, trauma-informed support, and positive behavioural support. You will also receive dedicated and person-centred support from your team leader through regular supervisions and guidance on your development. We want people who will support people in a positive way, no matter what their previous experience!
Our core values are essential to us working in this way – With Not For, Inclusive, Developing Potential, Responsive, Making a Difference. We live and breathe these in everything we do, whether it is with the People We Support, the People We Employ, or people we interact with in our communities.

* £11.75 per hour!
* £65.15 rate for sleep shifts
* Full training (No experience is required) and the opportunity of a new career or a fresh start
* The chance to gain your essential skills certificate

* £200 when you refer a friend to work with us
* Access to a blue light discount card
* Life assurance benefit
* Access to an Employee Assistance Programme (including counselling and CBT)
* Access to a pension, health cash plan, and cycle to work scheme
What we are looking for:
* Someone with a compassionate approach
* A commitment to supporting vulnerable people to become more independent
* Someone who can demonstrate our core values
* A genuine passion to make a difference
What the job involves day to day:
* Working as part of a team to deliver a person-centred support plan
* Documenting and maintaining accurate records of support.
* Supporting the People We Support to carry out their hobbies and interests in the community.
* Empowering the People We Support to gain life skills, such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, and managing their finances, at home and in the community.
* Supporting the People We Support in line with our core values.
We look forward to hearing from you!
