Oak House and Acorns, part of Hollybank Trust, is a small community home for 6 Adults with a range of complex physical and learning disabilities, in Worsborough just outside the centre of Barnsley.

Our team support the Adults with all aspects of their lives, including their physical, social and emotional needs, following their individualised care plans and delivering person centred care. We support the Adults to live enriched lives through a range of in house and external activities, including structured activities at Hollybank’s main site in Mirfield.

The team also work alongside Hollybank’s in-house therapies team, who assess the various aspects of the Adults’ needs in order to write their individual care plans and develop bespoke training them to meet these needs. Our staff receive in-depth induction training to safely and effectively support the Adults, as well as regular refreshers to maintain the high standards the Adults have a right to expect.

What we look for from our staff:

  • Confidence – being self-assured, asking for help when you need it and challenging behaviour or practices that you feel are inappropriate or unsafe.
  • Curiosity – being inquisitive and welcoming change, asking questions about the way that we do things and why, and putting yourself forward to try new things.
  • Happiness – being cheerful and positive, bringing your best self to work and sharing your enthusiasm for life with the people we are here to support.
  • Kindness – being caring and compassionate, reaching out to your colleagues if they look like they’re struggling, being an active member of the team and working together to achieve shared goals.

What we offer:

  • A competitive salary and great pension scheme.
  • Paid pre-employment training to give you a great head start.
  • An employee rewards scheme with retail discounts and more.
  • A comprehensive employee assistance program, including support for mental health, a company sick pay scheme, and a life insurance benefit.
  • A fantastic, open, and supportive working environment.
  • Training & Development opportunities to support your development.
  • A wealth of opportunities to gain experience in a variety of skills.
