Working at Atkinson Grove Chance for a Break Service

No structured activities programme or coordinator, so the role is mostly routine care with basic hobby support.

People were supported during their stay to maintain links with the community and to pursue their hobbies and interests.

Staffing meets needs safely but no word on stable teams or low agency use to keep workloads easy.

People's needs were met by the right amount of suitably skilled and experienced staff.

Only standard induction and role training, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

Induction training was provided to new staff and all staff completed regular training in topics specific to their role and people's needs.
