Working at Dimensions Somerset Selwyn House

Staffing is adequate but relies on regular agency workers because of staff losses after provider change.

Since the change in provider there had been staff losses... There had been use of consistent agency staff when it was required to ensure there were always enough staff.

No dedicated activities coordinator so the role involves basic activities like colouring and cooking plus some trips.

People were able to participate in a range of activities... colouring books, cooking, knitting and writing letters... trips to the local pub for meals or a drink... worked with the staff from the care home next door.
