The role of care Your child will be supported and cared for in the school’s homes by a team of highly trained Residential Support Staff, including Support Workers, Senior Support Workers and House Managers. These staff work on a rota basis across the week, outside of school hours, to ensure your child has access to a wide range of staff to feel settled and at home. The home’s aim is to work collaboratively with the young persons key teams, including Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, the Mental Health and Well-Being team and Teachers, to ensure that your child is settled and makes progress in life skills, independence skills, as well as enjoying high quality relaxation time through individualised activity plans.
Your child will be allocated a ‘Key Worker’ from the residential team as a point of contact for you and your child. The Key Worker will be on hand to answer any questions you have and support your child with their daily living, target progression and support them with their health, lifestyle and medical arrangements. Residential care staff work on a rolling rota. This enables young people to work with different members of staff on a regular basis and get to know them, building positive relationships. This means that your childs Keyworker may not be with your child every evening or weekend.
