Staff at The Limes
The Limes has a staff team comprising a Registered Manager, a Deputy Manager, Team Leaders and Support Workers, working closely with a dedicated clinical team (see Therapeutic Services). The recruitment process of Hesley Group is thorough and before joining us at The Limes people’s employment histories are thoroughly checked, references taken up and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks carried out.
We are dedicated to improving the performance and self-esteem of our staff in a way that directly improves the quality of life of the people we support. To this end the Workforce Development Department within Hesley Group provides and commissions a comprehensive programme of workforce development activities. To do this a blended learning approach is used which ranges from, delivery in the classroom for most programmes, e-learning where needed, on the job coaching and mentoring, apprenticeships, qualifications both vocational, academic and professional, accredited courses, open learning and further Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
All new staff are required to attend and complete a relevant corporate and service-specific induction programme to their role. These are aimed at meeting national legislation and standards such as the Care Certificate and Level 2 diploma in Care. We also run a comprehensive leadership and management programme which ensures managers have the knowledge, skills and abilities to lead and manage effectively.
