A CHARITY and company which works to enable disabled people to live the lifestyle of their choice is extending its services in Hambleton and Richmondshire.
Disability Action Yorkshire’s Home Care Service, based in Thirsk, is seeking to increase its team of more than 30 full and part-time support assistants, particularly in rural areas.
Duties range from simple domestic chores, including cleaning and preparing meals, to dressing and bathing and the provision of a personal assistant service.
Lacey Winn, the charity's Home Care manager, said: “Our aim is to not only extend services we offer, but our reach too.
"The majority of the work is concentrated at the beginning of the day and at teatime, so is ideal for someone looking for regular part-time work."
The charity, which was established in 1937, owns a residential care home on Harrogate for adults with physical disabilities.
It also runs a training centre at its Hornbeam Park headquarters, in Harrogate, for disabled adults who are wishing to gain the skills and experience to help them into employment.
