No Wrong Door provides support to North Yorkshire’s
most vulnerable young people who experience complex and challenging needs.
The role
proactively provide support and interventions to young people 12-25 so that they can achieve the best possible outcomes in life.
We are looking for a Residential and Edge of Care Hub worker to work within the No Wrong Door Hub in Harrogate. These posts support the Portfolio Leads (shift leaders) to proactively provide the support and interventions young people need so that they can achieve the best possible outcomes in life.
The post holder will be responsible for the direct day-to-day care of young people within a residential home accompanied by other supportive tasks and duties. Additionally, the post holder will also provide support to young people on the edge of care, accommodated in the various other hub placements, and care leavers (including post 18 living in the community).
The post holder will work within a defined culture and intervention practice model and will adopt a solution focussed and restorative approach.
This is a challenging position that will be suited to a flexible, resilient and positive applicant. As a designated keyworker for a range of young people receiving support from NWD, you will work as part of a 24/7 rota including evenings and weekends on a rota basis. Key working is integral to this post; working ‘with’ young people to develop their resilience and life skills to enable them to successfully manage the transition to independence.
Key characteristic requirements of this post are: flexibility, commitment, building effective relationships, resilience, persistence and the ability to progress plans for young people. All staff will have a commitment to integrated working involving good interagency working that requires positive relationships with partner services, agencies and organisations.
You will work closely with these young people to support them and their families using a range of tools and interventions. This role is critical to building relationships and trust with the most vulnerable and complex young people in North Yorkshire – and will ‘stick with’ each young person through some of their most challenging points in their lives.
Sleep in Allowance, 5% weekend working allowance. For further information about the role please contact: No Wrong Door (west) on 01609 535276 and ask to speak to Mark Walker or Linda Burton.

Voluntary Living Wage
It is acknowledged that cost of living pressures are difficult for everyone and there are a range of offers and support available to all staff, some of which are referenced http://nyccintranet/news/cost-living-pressures-update . National pay negotiations for the 2022/23 NJC pay award are unlikely to conclude in the near future. To support the workforce Management Board have worked with UNISON and agreed for this financial year (2022-2023) that employees in Grades A, B and C who are currently paid on spinal points 1, 2, and 3 of the NJC pay scale will have their basic pay increased to match the Voluntary Living Wage (currently £9.90 per hour). This will be paid in June with arrears backdated to 1st April 2022. When the 2022/23 pay award is agreed, if, as we expect, the national pay award increases pay to above this level, then the new pay from the pay award will be applied.
