Points to consider
No activities coordinator or structured programmes mentioned, so the job involves mostly personal care and helping with individual hobbies and outings.
People told us there were enough staff to support them and they regularly accessed the community, with staff or independently. People led active and fulfilling lives, one person worked, another did volunteer work.
Training covers induction, shadowing and regular supervision well, but nothing about specialist courses or funded qualifications to build skills.
