Working at Martins

Staff told us they were proud of working at the service. One staff told us, 'I feel like we achieve more here. We have the luxury of being person centred... We become a family unit us and the guys.'

Staff told us there was, 'Absolutely enough staff' to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Staffing levels were organised around people's needs and the activities planned.

Staff completed a range of training, which included courses specific to people with learning disabilities, such as positive behaviour support (PBS). When people's needs changed the provider had been proactive in introducing additional training for staff.

People were supported to follow their interests. The service had an outbuilding which was used by people to 'upcycle' furniture... trips abroad... horse riding, going to sports clubs and going for social meals.
