Working at All Saints Vicarage

Some staff felt the culture of the home was positive and open whilst others said they did not feel listened to or supported. In addition, culture workshops were due to take place to support all staff, including the managers, to develop a shared vision and culture.

There were enough staff to meet people’s needs. However, some said people would benefit from more staff who could drive and more female staff. The registered manager said they were aware of this and had been working to resolve it through ongoing recruitment.

Staff said they had all the training they needed to enable them to support people safely, however, there were mixed views in relation to support and supervision. The registered manager was aware of this and was working to address it.

Some staff felt the culture of the home was positive and open whilst others said they did not feel listened to or supported. We shared this with the registered manager who said the provider had instigated an independent review of the home.

People were supported with a range of activities both inside and outside of the home. This included things like trampolining, going for walks and cycling, which supported people’s physical activity and wellbeing.
