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. We are a large local employer with around 600 employees and our services are commissioned by 40 local authorities. Join us to make a difference and help us to continue to make Hollybank a special place to live and learn.
We have ten residential homes, seven of these are on our site in Mirfield, one is in Holmfirth, one in Barnsley and one in South Kirkby. Each home has been designed to support specific needs and all have access to our education, enrichment, therapeutic and clinical services. Beeches is a thirteen-bed home for adults, located on our Mirfield site.
This attractive, wooden-clad bungalow is one of three homes that make up the Meadows. Poplars is a twelve-bedded home on the main site in Mirfield. It forms part of the Meadows.
