Forensic experience essential

Are you a caring, motivated individual looking for a role where no two days are the same—and where you can genuinely make a difference every day?

We’re looking for a Forensic Support Worker to join our Leeds Outreach team, supporting individuals with a wide range of needs in the community and their own homes.

About the Role

You’ll be supporting individuals with autism, learning disabilities, and complex needs—including forensic backgrounds and behaviours of concern.

Support may include:

• Daily living support and personal care

• Supporting individuals to stay active and social

💡 The people we support love getting out and about—this could include:

• Swimming
• Gym sessions
• Rugby games
• Concerts and evenings out

So you’ll need to be energetic and happy to get involved. 

The role will involve working in multiple locations so drivers would be preferred.

✅ Essential experience in:

• Forensic or criminal backgrounds

• Following detailed support plans
• Working independently in the community

Hours & Flexibility

Shifts include:

• 9am - 4pm
• 9am - 5pm 
• Includes weekends on a rota basis so full availability is required

🔒 An enhanced adult DBS is required.

What You’ll Get

✔️ 28 days annual leave (pro rata, including bank holidays)
✔️ Ongoing accredited training
✔️ Employer pension scheme

Plus, access to:
