Working at Short Break Respite Unit

No activities coordinator or structured programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care with basic cooking and outings.

One person told us, 'I like coming here because it is fun and there is lots to do.' We saw people using the service working with the staff to prepare an evening meal of their choice.

Staffing is adequate with enough staff on shifts, but no details on low agency use or stable long-serving team.

A member of staff told us, 'I like working here because there are always enough staff to care for the people.'

Only standard induction, regular training and supervision, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

New members of staff were supported through an induction program. Staff were then provided with regular training, supervision and a yearly appraisal.
