Working at The Mews

Staff numbers are enough for one-to-one daytime care and night cover, but no details on team stability or agency staff use.

Standard induction, mandatory training and some specialist topics are covered with supervision, but no funded qualifications or career paths mentioned.

Per 2017 comprehensive inspection: Training records showed most staff had completed essential training, as well as some appropriate additional training specific to the people they supported, such as learning disability awareness, crisis management and dementia.

Varied outings, community trips and events based on interests, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to enrich the role.

Per 2017 comprehensive inspection: People had access to social activities that were based around their interests and hobbies including outings into the community such as to a safari park, football matches and to visit relatives.
