Working at The Old Vicarage

People were protected from the risks of abuse, harm and discrimination. Risks to people's health were assessed, monitored, managed and regularly reviewed.

The registered manager promoted an open and inclusive culture. There was a relaxed and calm atmosphere in the service.

Staff kept up to date with best practice by completing training in topics, such as moving people safely, fire safety, dementia and continence care. Staff were able to achieve additional vocational qualifications.

The registered manager provided strong leadership and was supported by a deputy manager and team leaders. They worked together as a cohesive team.

There were planned and impromptu activities and people helped with things, such as baking and folding laundry. Visiting clergy provided religious services and local schools had sung to people from outside.
