Are you someone who brings energy, empathy and creativity into everything you do?
Do you enjoy supporting others, building positive relationships and being part of a team that genuinely cares?
If so, this could be the perfect role for you.
About the Role
Calderdale Integrated Specialist Day Services is entering an exciting period of service redesign. As we shape the future, we’re looking for caring and committed Support Workers to help maintain safe, high quality support across our day services.
You will support adults with a wide range of assessed care and support needs including people with learning disabilities, older adults, and individuals with complex needs such as autism, dementia, distressed behaviour and health related conditions. Your work will help people stay connected, develop skills, and lead fulfilling lives.
Who We’re Looking For
• Creative, positive and outgoing
• Able to build trusting relationships with people who communicate in different ways
• A great team player who also feels confident using their own initiative
• Adaptable and calm when supporting people during challenging or emotional moments
• Motivated by helping people live well, safely and with dignity
We’re looking for people who can offer:
• Strong communication skills, including adapting your approach to suit different communication styles
• Caring skills and experience supporting individuals with complex needs
• The ability to remain calm, reassuring and solution focused during difficulties
• A good understanding of safeguarding and safe working practices
• An awareness of your own safety and the safety of others while delivering support
• The ability to work independently and make appropriate decisions in real time
• Basic IT skills to record information and use digital systems
• Basic numeracy and literacy skills
• Willingness to complete manual handling training (or current experience)
Where You’ll Work
You’ll be part of Calderdale Council’s Integrated Day Services, working across welcoming centres:
• Halifax – Higgins Close
• Rastrick – Lower Edge
Services operate Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm giving you a healthy work life balance with no evening or weekend work.
By joining us, you’ll play a vital role in:
• Supporting daily activities and routines
• Creating meaningful, enjoyable experiences for people
• Helping us maintain safe staffing levels during an important service review
• Contributing to a team committed to compassion, respect and positivity
• Shaping the next chapter of day services in Calderdale
Closing date for applications – Wednesday, 3rd June 2026
Interview date: tbc
We may utilise digital interview methods.
As part of our Vision (https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/vision/) we aim to be a talented, resilient and inclusive community. We welcome applications from all and offer a variety of flexible working / job share opportunities.
On 30 January 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency in a bold move to step up its action to tackle climate change.
Calderdale Council embraces the positive benefits of a diverse workforce and we are committed to providing an environment that is inclusive. We encourage applications from people who share our commitment to challenge inequality and promote diversity across Calderdale. We particularly welcome applications from communities that are currently under-represented in our organisation. All applications are anonymised before being seen by the selection panel.
As part of our fair recruitment process, we ask that all applications are written by the candidate and that Artificial Intelligence (AI) use is limited, unless assistance is required as a reasonable adjustment for a disability. Content should be truthful, accurate, evidence based and not embellished – see guidance.
