Working at Poplars

No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, just basic outings like cinema trips and shopping, so the role is mostly routine personal care.

People regularly attended events and activities of their choice in the local community. These included discos, the cinema, walks in the park and shopping.

Staffing is adequate but occasional agency workers cover absences, so not always the same team.

There were enough staff on duty to meet the needs of people. Staff absences were covered by the provider's own staff, although agency staff were occasionally used.

Only standard training and supervision mentioned, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

People were supported by appropriately trained and supervised staff.
