Working at The Minims (12 & 31)

Staff told us they were well supported through one to one meeting with their line manager and staff meetings.

There were enough staff to meet people's need safely. Staff told us there were enough staff and the registered manager and deputy manager was available to step in and cover shifts when it was needed.

Staff were provided with additional training above the ones considered mandatory by the provider to enhance their skills. For example, sepsis training, catheter care, epilepsy training and stroke awareness.

Staff told us they felt supported by their managers. One staff member said, 'The manager is very supportive and listens to us if we put forward any ideas.'

People had planned weekly activities which included outings, day centre, shopping trips, music therapy and exercise classes. In-house activities were provided by staff on a daily basis.
