Are you looking for a new career? 
Moving to a new home is a significant step.
We take time to understand each person’s needs, strengths, aspirations and preferences so that we can make sure our service is the right environment for them.
When a move is agreed, we work closely with the person, their family, professionals and placing authority to plan the transition carefully.
Finding Out More
It’s important for you to have all the information you need to have peace of mind. Enquiries from families and from placing authorities are always welcome. We ask placing authorities to share relevant information so that we can consider carefully whether the service is a suitable option.
We always get to know more about the person, exploring their needs, strengths and aspirations and any risks that need to be understood and safely supported. The assessment is conducted by the Registered Manager of the service, often together with a specialist clinician. They will arrange to meet the person and other important individuals to find out more about the person’s needs, focusing on what’s important to and for them.
Through our assessment, we aim to understand the kind of life a person aspires to live and what support they require to make this happen. If we think we can provide the right support and right environment for someone to thrive, the placing authority is informed. Usually, they will then communicate the decision to the person and their family.

Getting ready
Getting ready for the start of a person’s journey
A Team Manager co-ordinates each person’s transition into the service, working closely with the person, their family, carers, professionals and placing authority to plan the move carefully around the person’s needs, preferences and wellbeing.
Everyone’s experience will be different, but all plans have the following key elements:
• a support team that is informed, trained and prepared
• all colleagues have a one-page profile in a format that the person understands
• an identified key worker
• the person’s choices about their home (what is important to them environmentally)
• agreement on the plan.
Moving-in day can be exciting, but we recognise that for some it can feel overwhelming. Again, everyone’s first day and night will be different, but we ensure the following:
• their key worker is there to greet them
• their first night is designed around them and what they will need
• they won’t be overwhelmed by lots of new people (unless their needs dictate otherwise)
• they will have a ‘welcome to your new home’ card and welcome pack or hamper, individualised to their personal likes and preferences.
