Working at Grosvenor Lodge

Staffing is adequate but the team has to cover sicknesses between themselves, which can stretch people on shift.

Staff told us: “I think we have enough staff. I mean you can’t do anything if people call in sick, but when that happens, we usually cover any absence between ourselves. We are pretty flexible.”

Only standard required trainings like safeguarding and medicines mentioned, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff had received appropriate safeguarding training... Staff had the necessary medicine training, and their competency was checked.”

Activities have a coordinator and include trips and events, but no specialist programmes or innovative therapies.
