Working at Seaview

No permanent manager in place, just a senior leading temporarily while they recruit a new one.

The registered manager had left following our last assessment. The provider was recruiting to the role and a senior manager was leading the service in the interim.

Only standard training like refreshers for errors, inductions, and supervision, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff had completed refresher training and their competence had been assessed if they had made a medicines error. New staff had received a comprehensive induction and their competencies had been checked.

No activities coordinator or named specialist programmes, so the role relies on routine outings and household tasks for variety.

Each person also spent time with staff planning what they wanted to do each week. This included going out in small groups or on their own with staff. People now spent time at a wide variety of shops, cafes and leisure facilities locally.
