Points to consider
Training covers basics like the care certificate but no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.
New staff completed an induction... supported to complete the care certificate. This is nationally recognised training.
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes so the role might involve mostly routine care.
The service had its own newsletter and regular good news stories were shared in it. These often featured stories about activities, events and trips people had been involved in.
