"We work in their home, they don't live where we work." - At Beeches, this isn't just a motto. It's the foundation of everything we do.

Beeches is a welcoming thirteen-bed home supporting adults with physical and learning disabilities in a beautiful countryside setting in Mirfield. Our purpose is simple: to help the people we support live fulfilling lives with independence, dignity, choice and meaningful communication at the heart of every day. Beeches is more than a workplace. It's a home. And we're looking for people who understand the difference.

We are looking for caring, experienced and compassionate Support Workers to join our dedicated day team!

Why Beeches?

When you join Beeches, you're not simply providing care. You're helping create a home where people feel safe, respected, listened to and valued.

Many of the people we support communicate in unique ways, and our staff take the time to understand each individual, ensuring their voice is heard and their choices guide the support they receive. We promote independence wherever possible, encouraging people to develop skills, access their community and enjoy opportunities that matter to them.

Our team understands that dignity isn't just a word. It's about treating every person with respect, supporting them on their own terms, and recognising that this is their home.

• Understand the importance of person-centred care.
• Are confident building meaningful relationships and supporting communication needs.
• Value independence, choice and inclusion.
• Bring life experience, empathy and a calm, professional approach.
• Want to make a genuine difference every day.

While experience is important, your values, compassion and commitment to delivering exceptional support are what matter most.

• Provide high-quality, person-centred support.
• Promote choice, independence and dignity.
• Support individuals with daily living activities and personal care where required.
• Encourage participation in home and community life.
• Build positive relationships with the people we support and their families.
• Work collaboratively within a dedicated and passionate team committed to delivering outstanding care.
