Points to consider
Staffing is adequate and flexible but they use regular agency nurses so you don't always work with the same permanent team.
we spoke with... 10 members of staff including 2 agency nurses who work regularly in the home (2023)
There is an activities coordinator with pamper sessions, sensory rooms and community outings, but no specialist programmes to add real variety to the job.
