Working at Dimensions Somerset The Brambles

Staffing is often at minimum levels with vacancies and some agency staff, so care choices and activities sometimes get affected.

When staffing levels were reduced, people were safe but their care and/or activities could be affected. Relatives did express some concern about the impact lower staffing levels had and the use of temporary staff. There were three full time vacancies... often running on minimum numbers.

Activities like outings can get cancelled due to low staffing, so the role involves more home-based crafts than varied programmes.

Today I was meant to be taking two people Christmas shopping but due to staff sickness this is cancelled so we will complete Christmas crafts at home instead.
