Working at Hindson House

Just basic activities like sensory room, music, walks and pub lunches, no coordinator or special programmes to make the job more interesting.

Our [loved one] likes it in the sensory room. He listens to music. Staff take him on walks, for a pub lunch.

They use some agency staff to cover shifts, even if they try to keep the same familiar faces.

When agency staff were deployed the registered manager ensured that the same staff were used to ensure continuity for people.

Only standard induction training and supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

The provider gave staff a comprehensive eight day induction programme with annual updates. Staff training needs were identified in regular supervisions and appraisals.
