Our People
Registered Manager
Our Registered Manager is responsible for ensuring compliance with CQC and legislative standards. He works closely with the staff team to maintain a consistently high standard of care planning and delivery, and monitor and support staff performance.
Psychologist
Our Specialised Psychologist works in partnership with our clients, their family, and our MDT, in order to assess and support their individual conditions, with the aim to reduce distress and improve their psychological wellbeing. They use their scientific knowledge to also educate and train staff to provide specific care.
Speech and Language Therapist
Our Speech and Language Therapist supports those who have problems communicating. They assess the speech and language abilities and development of each individual, whilst developing and implementing individual treatment programmes to actively encourage independence and communication.
Through our robust recruitment and selection policy we undertake to employ only those persons we believe have the requisite skills, education, training, prior work experience and attitude which will complement and enhance the quality of care we deliver.
We provide all staff with an induction training programme and further on-going training. All job applicants are required to apply for either a standard or an enhanced disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau, to show that they are suitable to look after clients.
All of our staff either have a National Vocational Qualification in Care (at either level 2, or level 3), or are committed to studying for this qualification. Support workers are assigned to clients on the understanding that they have the requisite qualifications, skills, experience and aptitude to support and safeguard them properly.
The Registered Manager is also experienced in working with people who have disabilities, and is passionately committed to improving the quality of care available to persons living in their own home.
Life Long Learning Trainer
Our Life Long Learning Trainer assesses the skills of every service user, and uses diagnostic assessment to decide the best teaching and learning strategies for them. They teach life and social skills to help individuals manage their own lives and develop and maintain meaningful relationships.
BCBA-D Behaviour Consultant
Our Doctoral Level Board Certified Behaviour Analyst specialises in providing Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services for individuals who have learning disabilities and/or behaviour that challenges. PBS seeks to understand the reasons for challenging behaviours so the right support can be provided.
Support Practicioners and Senior Support Practicioners
Our Support Staff work with our individuals daily, helping them meet their personal targets and assisting them with their daily support needs. They aim to ensure client care encompasses “the five accomplishments” (community presence, choice, competence, community participation and respect).
