Working at Inspire

No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly routine personal care with basic activities like TV or walking around.

A range of activities was offered according to people's abilities, preferences and interests. Some people liked to be involved in activities, others liked to watch TV and some were unable to participate in any formal activity.

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with flexible levels based on occupancy and no mention of low agency use or stable long-term team.

Staffing levels were flexible, depending on the needs and numbers of people using the service at any given time. Staff we spoke with told us staffing levels were satisfactory.

Only standard mandatory training and some development chances, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for learning disability care.

Staff were supported with a thorough induction to the service and training in subjects considered mandatory by the provider. Training records evidenced staff were up to date with all required training.
