Working at Chesterwood

There were enough staff on duty to meet the needs of people... staff covered absences themselves but also used bank staff when necessary. 'The staff team have gone over and above to make sure we never use agency'

New staff completed an induction to the service and were enrolled on the Care Certificate. Staff training was up to date... regular supervisions and an annual appraisal

Staff supported them to access activities... local football and cricket matches, trips to the cinema and shops, holidays, colleges, volunteered in a charity shop, 'link up' scheme, motor racing at Silverstone
