Working at Cannock Specialist Care Centre

Staffing is adequate but relies on too many agency workers who can be less reliable.

One staff member said, 'Although I think there are too many agency staff and agency staff can be less reliable, we are at safe levels and there has been no impact on residents.'

Only standard training like induction, online courses and shadowing, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Per Jan 2023 comprehensive inspection: Staff received an induction and training prior to starting their role... mixture of online and in-house training which they described as 'good'.

No activities coordinator or specialist programmes mentioned, so activities are basic group and one-to-one options like bingo and themed days.

Per Jan 2023 comprehensive inspection: People had access to a large range of both group and 1 to 1 activities in line with their preferences. For example, people engaged in jigsaws, bingo, singing, watching films and themed days.
