Job Description

A full UK driving licence and willingness to drive our minibuses is beneficial for this position.

The Mayfield Trust is an independent charity based in Calderdale and our mission is 'Helping people live life to the full.

The Mayfield Trust Values

'Work with Kindness'

'Support Experiences'

'Care Creatively'

'Embrace Change'

We create an open and caring environment based on promoting choice, independence, person centred care and experiences. Our endeavour is helping to create community experiences with children, young people, and adults with neurological and physical barriers.

We are looking for caring, fun, highly motivated, adaptable people to join our team at 'The Hub' which is our activity centre where the Outreach service is based. A full driving licence would be advantageous but not essential for the right applicant.

The candidates must demonstrate an understanding towards vulnerable groups and aspire to make a difference. The role is diverse, rewarding and fun, alongside the opportunity of lifelong learning. Due to our rising service demand, we are looking to provide opportunities for people who would like to broaden their skills and experience within a social care environment.

You will be helping people live life to the full; developing positive relationships with team members and those you support is a key part of your responsibilities. Everyone is an individual and the support you provide must align to this need.

You will be working with service users on a needs led basis and delivering specific support needs alongside the person's care plan. In general terms this will be supporting people with activities both in The Hub and in the community, life skills, assisting with communication, mobility and personal care, helping people develop and attain a level of independence, and supporting people to be active citizens in their local community.

If you share our Values and Mission statement, we would love to hear from you.
