Staff Profile

The home employs a Manager, Deputy Manager, Senior Care Assistants, Care Assistants, Kitchen, Domestic and Administration staff. The nursing facility has a team of nursing staff, senior carers and care assistants to meet the differing needs and dependencies of residents.

The staff levels in our home is based on the dependency needs of our residents which is tabulated based on a recognised dependency tool. The staff allocated to support the residents will be chosen in order to match their skills with resident needs, and also to minimise travelling distances in order to support good time attendance. In addition to the direct support staff the Registered Manager provides support in terms of management and nursing care, most of which should be in addition to the care levels. The promoters also provide significant support in management, administration and care related activities by way of additional monitoring and control which are in addition to the activities undertaken by the employment team. Staffing levels may be changed at the discretion of the Manager if there are particular needs. Care staff work on a Rota system which ensures that the service is staffed based on dependency and by the appropriate number and skill mix, including weekends and public holidays. New employees are inducted to National Training Organisation standards within 12 weeks of employment. We manage and train our employees with the aim that all of our carers are offered to achieve QCF level 2. All other employees receive the training appropriate to their work, for example Food Hygiene for catering staff. All employees receive annual training in health and safety matters such as moving and handling, fire awareness and procedures, adult protection issues, mental capacity act, infection control, medication, first aid, GDPR and a range of other matters.

Staff are carefully selected with emphasis on attitude and their background is rigorously checked and you should find them knowledgeable, professional and friendly. As a group, we are driven to provide the very best standards of care within our homes, and we strive to recruit quality professionals.

New carers are encouraged to complete the Care Certificate within 12 weeks of employment, and complete a Level 2 Diploma within 2 years of appointment.
