Are you a hands-on, practical person who enjoys fixing things, working outdoors, and making a positive difference? Do you have the skills to mentor and support others while driving a minibus across a unique farm setting? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

We are Matthew's Enterprise Trust, a charity under the Avocet Trust Group, providing a day service that helps vulnerable adults build life and employment skills through practical, hands-on experiences. Our six-and-a-half-acre farm in Preston offers a dynamic environment with animal care, rural crafts, carpentry, and more. We need someone like you to help keep everything running smoothly!

About The Role

As our General Maintenance Handyperson, you'll wear a few hats: the go-to fixer, the reliable minibus driver, and a supportive mentor to small groups of our students.

Your Day-to-day Tasks Will Include
  • Carrying out general maintenance across the site, fixing fences, changing light bulbs, repairing equipment, and ensuring everything is safe and in good working order.
  • Driving a minibus to transport clients between activities on the farm and other nearby locations.
  • Mentoring small groups of up to four clients at a time, encouraging their participation in various farm-based activities.
  • Assisting with farm events and activities, such as animal care, gardening, carpentry, and craft sessions.
What We're Looking For
  • A full, clean driving licence with the necessary qualifications to drive a minibus.
  • Practical maintenance skills; you're confident with tools and know your way around small repairs.
  • A friendly, patient, and encouraging nature to support clients without providing personal care.
  • Experience in gardening, carpentry, or DIY would be a plus, but your positive attitude matters most.
Why Join Us

Make a genuine difference in people's lives while working in a unique, outdoor environment. Join a supportive, community-focused team where your practical skills and mentoring ability are valued. Enjoy great benefits, including health support schemes, leisure discounts, and more.
