Staffing

We are aware that the home’s staff will always play a very important role in the life of each resident. To maximise this contribution, we will do the following:

• Employ staff in sufficient numbers and with the relevant mix of skills to meet residents’ needs.
• Provide at all times an appropriate number of staff with qualifications in nursing care.
• All staff will have up to date and ongoing police checks to ensure their appropriateness in caring for each resident.
• We will also observe recruitment policies and practices which both respect equal opportunities and protect residents’ safety and welfare.
• Offer our staff a range of training which is relevant to their induction, foundation experience and further development. All care staff will also be registered with NISCC.

Management and Administration

We know that the leadership of the  home is critical to  all its operations. To provide leadership of the quality required, we will

• Always employ a Registered Manager who is qualified, competent and experienced for the task.
• Our dedicated Operational Manager will ensure that all Health and Safety legislation is in place.
• Our management approach will create an open, positive and inclusive atmosphere.
• We work to accounting and financial procedures that safeguard residents’ interests.
• We offer, where possible, appropriate assistance in the management of resident’s personal finances.
• All staff will receive regular supervision and appraisals.
• Staff will keep up-to-date  and  accurate  records on all aspects of the running of the home and its residents.

Ensure that the health, safety and welfare of residents and staff is paramount and will be promoted and protected at all times.
