Working at Lydbury Crescent Chance for a Break Service

Only standard mandatory training like first aid, safeguarding, and medicines checks, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff completed training in topics of health and safety including, fire safety, first aid and the use of equipment. Staff received training on safeguarding adults from abuse. Staff with responsibilities for managing medicines had completed the required training and competency checks.

No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly routine personal care plus resident-led planning and basic outings.

People were fully involved in planning things such as meals, routines, and activities. One person took the lead on planning improvements to the garden in preparation for the summer months.
