Working in Adult Residential Services

Running adult residential services takes a small army of staff, from support workers and management to cooks, cleaning and maintenance staff.  Staff receive all the necessary training to do their job effectively and safely.  Some of the courses provided are:

• Studio III: managing challenging behaviour in a non-violent, gentle and dignified way
• Autism Awareness and Understanding TEACCH
• PoVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults)
• First Aid
• Food Hygiene
• Fire Safety
• Medication
• Specialist training from our Clinical Psychology team, e.g. Low Arousal
• Specialist training from our Speech and Language team, e.g. Makaton
• Any training relevant to individual service users
