Support for adults with learning disabilities in Scarborough
We are a well-respected and independent local charity providing specialist care and support for children and adults with learning disabilities and other complex needs.
An opportunity to work with us
At Scarborough & District Mencap, we have regular job opportunities. We provide a full induction and gold-standard training package for new appointees and regular, paid update/refresher training throughout our employees' time with us.
We are constantly reviewing our staff team to ensure that we have the necessary skillsets and experience levels to meet the ever-changing needs of our current service users. We therefore have regular recruitment rounds for full-time, part-time and relief support workers to work with children and adults with a learning disability. We want to hear from people who will encourage and enable people with learning disabilities to lead fulfilling lives based around their individual needs.
