Recruitment

Enthusiasm, motivation and caring

Innovation

The Community works with a specialised client group in an innovative and creative way. Staff receive a thorough training in the practices of the Community and a knowledge of disabilities and specific conditions, which enables them to meet individual needs and deal with the broad range of associated behaviour, including understanding physical and verbal aggression and self-harm.

Head of Care

We were told that people who lived in the home benefited from “outstanding” care because of the competence and dedication of the management.

Quote from External Professional in 2 Seymour Terrace’s CQC inspection report January 2016.

How we ensure consistent support to residents

The Community operates a thorough recruitment procedure based on equal opportunities whilst ensuring the protection of residents. New staff are confirmed in post only after the Community have received references and on completion of satisfactory Disclosure Barring Service checks (DBS). All staff receive training on issues of Safeguarding.

We do not employ psychiatric nurses, we employ people from a broad range of backgrounds, who have the qualities and characteristics that provide the environment to implement the Community’s philosophy. Their skills and knowledge are developed through a programme of induction and ongoing training, to the requirement of TOPPS certified training programme and the nationally recognised Care Qualifications. Employees come from both graduate and non-graduate backgrounds and often move on to careers in nursing and social work as well as post-graduate study.

Residents are involved in staff selection and their feedback on the care provision is encouraged and supported.
