Our Support Specialists
Welcome to our Support Specialists page, where we introduce the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to provide exceptional care and support. In addition to our well-trained team, we collaborate with external therapists and wellness professionals, including massage specialists, to promote physical and emotional well-being.
We have over 20 years working with commissioners, social workers, psychiatrists, GPs and other referrers to provide the best possible care for those we support.
Together, we create a nurturing environment that focuses on improving the quality of life for all our residents, ensuring they feel supported, valued, and cared for every day.
We believe in continuous learning and growth. To ensure our staff have access to the best training available, we collaborate with a network of expert training providers including Sarah Seekins for our face to face training, The Training hub, Worknest, Croner-I, and Care Skills Academy
