Hollybank Trust is a charity based in West and South Yorkshire and we are proud of our reputation for excellence over our rich history. Our mission statement is to provide education, residential care, plus a range of therapies and enrichment activities for children, young people and adults with profound and multiple disabilities. We focus on ability not disability and celebrate our differences.

Ideally located for people living in Meltham, Honley, and Huddersfield, and with great public transport links, Rowan Court is a vibrant 15-bed residential service for adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities and complex needs.

This will allow you to work closely with them, and develop a deeper appreciation of their likes, dislikes, routines, and communication methods. You will then start your night time rota, which will include additional shadowing and training to ensure you are fully equipped with all the tools and knowledge you need

The role will be as varied as the people we support, but typical duties will include:

• Supporting adults to engage in meaningful activities.
• Supporting adults with their night-time routine, including personal care and bathing/showering.
