About us

Our aim is to support the young people using a therapeutic approach to live in a non-secure community setting and to achieve their individual goals in preparation for transition to adult life.

Your role will involve working with our young people to promote independence through support with education, household tasks and general life skills. You will also update online care records and complete medication administration. In addition, you will be responsible for the general upkeep and tidiness of the home ensuring the young people live in homely environment.

Maplehurst is a 5 bedded residential home for young people with diagnosed eating disorders, and other mental health needs.

Your role will involve cooking and preparing meals for our young people with complex and challenging eating disorders.

You will also support all aspects of stock control, including ordering stock and receiving goods. As our young people work towards their own recovery, you will be flexible and compassionate, helping them to build their skills whilst their independence is promoted through cooking and baking classes facilitated by the dietetics team. This is role where you will gain immense job satisfaction knowing you are having a real impact on the recovery of our young people.
