YorLinc are seeking dedicated and professional Freelance Support Worker’s to provide high-quality, personalised support to individuals in receipt of Access To Work funding.
Your support will play a vital role in ensuring individuals with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions are supported within their employment. This role does not involve personal care, instead it focuses on enablement support to assist in the removal of barriers within an individual’s workplace.

- Implementing agreed coping strategies to manage workplace demands;
- Providing structured, person-centred support in line with an agreed support plan;
- Liaising appropriately with the individual, employer, and relevant professionals where required.
As a Support Worker, you must remain within the remit of the role outlined by the funding body, ensuring that support enables the individual to perform their role independently and does not replace the duties of an employee.

- Ability to work independently and adapt to a variety of workplace environments;
- Clear understanding of professional boundaries within a workplace setting;
