Working at Woodside

Staff have mandatory training but no specialist courses for needs like eating disorders.

Staff were up to date with training however, there was limited specialist training available. Staff told us the service did not provide adequate specialist training in eating disorders which would help them provide the appropriate support.

No activities coordinator or creative programmes, so the role is mostly routine support and basic life skills like shopping and cooking.

The provider supported people to engage in meaningful activities which was planned and documented in their care plans. People were supported to plan menus, go food shopping and cook meals.

Staffing is adequate and safe but nothing special, with no details on low agency use or staff retention.

Staffing levels were safe. The provider used a dependency tool to calculate staffing levels and rotas indicated staffing levels were maintained to meet people's needs.
