Working at Heatherington House

People empowered to take positive risks... staff reviewed learning from incidents; people self-manage medicines with oversight, strong safeguarding knowledge.

'It's a great place to work.' Staff felt they could be open and honest and were involved in reviewing accidents and incidents.

The registered manager over-recruited staff so they were able to maintain a good staffing level... consistent staff team that people were familiar with.

Staff were enabled to complete a specific qualification in understanding and supporting people with Prader-Willi Syndrome... specialised training, refreshed every year.

The registered manager was truly respected and admired by people, staff and other professionals involved with the home and had been recognised nationally for their approach.

People supported for 'Come Dine With Me' challenge, camel trekking, paragliding, sponsored walks, sign language learning, community events with measurable health improvements.
