Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes like therapy, just regular outings to day centres, shopping and church, so the role stays mostly routine care.
most mornings during the week people were involved in attending day centres, friendship clubs and other community based activities such as swimming, shopping or eating out. Several people living at Winston Lodge told us they were supported to go to church each week.
Training covers basics like safeguarding and autism awareness with supervisions, but no funded qualifications or career paths to help you grow.
Training included food hygiene, first aid, fire safety... safeguarding, medicine management, the Mental Capacity Act 2005... mental health awareness, autism awareness... consistent approach to supervision and appraisal.
