It’s quite a big locality, covering all of Harrogate and extending to Knaresborough and Ripon. We’re a really close team and our superpower is our communication – we start the day with a morning briefing call, set out our priorities for the day, and check in with each other to see how we’re getting on.

We’re really passionate about inclusivity in Harrogate and we do all we can to make sure everyone feels welcome in the office, and hosting a lot of fun social events for everyone to take part in.

Doncaster

Our services

In Doncaster we support people through our Shared Lives, Community Support and Supported Living services. We’re particularly interested in mental health support, and we’re actually one of the providers of choice in the area. So we try to weave mental health support into all of our services.

We believe in developing positive, therapeutic relationships. Just like all of Avalon, we’re a community and we welcome everyone into the office all the time. And nothing is more important than supporting people to feel more like themselves.

We cover a big geographical area, delivering support not only in the city, but the surrounding villages too, and that means we’re always looking for more people to join our ranks to help us provide the best support. Working here means you get the chance to work all over Doncaster, supporting people from all walks of life.

Our office is located behind an old Victorian Town House on Thorne Road near to the town centre.

Skipton

Our services

Our main services in Skipton are Supported Living and Community Support. Supported living is the service we’re probably most famous for – we plan lots of fun outings and we help people build really strong social networks, encouraging them to become an important part of their local communities.

The people we support and our staff live all across the area, and come from all walks of life. You’ll find us supporting people within Skipton, across the Yorkshire Dales and in the surrounding communities.

The logistics of the locality is also one of our biggest challenges. It’s a big, rural area and it can mean a lot of travel. But that just means we get to take in all the amazing views around us while helping people live the lives they choose.

Come and see us

We’re just off the High Street, right in the heart of the community.

To find us, you’ll need to head to the library and enter a little ginnel between it and Harry Garlic electricals. We’re set back there, just behind the electrical shop.

Our culture

When you visit us in Skipton, the first thing you’ll get is a warm welcome from our Administrator, Helena. If her warm smile and offers for tea and coffee don’t have you feeling happy, then the laugh and energy of our Locality Manager, Lucy Price will soon have you smiling.

We go the extra mile each and every day. We’re a great team and we support each other to make sure everyone feels like they can achieve their goals.

Every year we take the people we support to Blackpool Illuminations. We all look forward to it and it’s so rewarding to see everyone getting the chance to experience the things that we may take for granted in our daily lives.

West Yorkshire

Our services

Our main service in West Yorkshire is Supported Living – supporting people in their homes with things like personal care, cooking, cleaning and all sorts of activities to live more independent and fulfilling lives.

We also manage 2 short breaks services called Clarence Gardens and Cypress Road, which provide safe, personalised breaks and respite for adults with care needs.

We are really dynamic as a team, which is lucky because the work we do is always changing. We adapt to meet the needs of the people we support and are proud to be flexible to the needs of the people we support.

We work across a really big area, including Wakefield, Kirklees and Huddersfield. Because we cover such a large geographic area, travelling across the locality to provide support is one of the biggest challenges we face. But we work really hard to make sure we keep communicating. We’re always looking to add new members of staff to our team, and recruiting the right people to our locality is high on our agenda.
