About Oak House
Oak House and Acorns, part of Hollybank Trust, is a small community home for 6 adults with a range of complex physical and learning disabilities, in Worsborough just outside the centre of Barnsley.
Our team supports the adults with all aspects of their lives, including their physical, social and emotional needs, following their individualised care plans and delivering person‑centred care. We support them to live enriched lives through a range of in‑house and external activities, including structured activities at Hollybank’s main site in Mirfield.
The team also works alongside Hollybank’s in‑house therapies team, who assess the various aspects of the adults’ needs in order to write their individual care plans and develop bespoke training to meet these needs. Our staff receive in‑depth induction training to safely and effectively support the adults, as well as regular refreshers to maintain the high standards the adults have a right to expect.
Our goal is to ensure the people we support live as independently as possible and have access to community activities. As a staff team we often say “today has to be the best day of their lives!”.
