Working at Walsingham Support - 49 Essex Park

No activities coordinator or varied programmes, so the role is mostly routine care plus basic community support.

Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Most people engaged in own interests and hobbies and attended day care centres on a regular basis. People were supported to carry out activities in the community.

Staffing is adequate but sometimes uses agency workers.

We sometimes use agency staff, but they have been coming here for years and they know people well.

Only standard mandatory training and some specialist topics like epilepsy, no funded qualifications or career development.

Training records showed that staff received training in medicines, first aid, food safety, infection control, health and safety, epilepsy, challenging behaviour and the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
