Here in North Yorkshire our vision is to enable people to live longer, healthier and independent lives, as outlined in “Our plan for Health and Adult Services in North Yorkshire 2022-2025”.

The team supports people whose goal is to succeed in paid work, gain a work placement or potential work trials, supported internships or apprenticeships. They also can support people already in the workplace to maintain or retain their employment.
There will be 1 full time post available.
