Our Staff Team

Our homes pride themselves on the high quality of care and support their managers and staff provide. We ensure that staff are provided with the right tools to do the job and we provide high levels of staff training and supervision. By valuing and respecting our staff we have ensured there is minimal turnover, negligible sickness and very little use of Agency staff.

Our staff were selected because they show the right kind of attitude and have the sort of personality that enables them to communicate well with the clients. They offer a unique and specialised approach to supporting people with autism and behaviour that challenges and have demonstrated many successes with clients on whom other services had ‘given up’. Our homes have been commended on our recruitment and selection process and the level and type of training staff are able to access.
