At Lavender Grove we look after our staff as much as we look after our children.
Working with Children and Young People who have experienced trauma, pain and abuse in a calm, consistent and caring manner can be challenging so along with training and 24/7 support we will offer reflective supervision, access to therapeutic support, and monthly health and wellbeing treatments.
Mauva, Claire and Bryan are here to support our staff and young people a therapeutic way. Therapeutic mentoring provides a flexible, interactive and practical approach, whilst still being able to provide emotional support that promotes positive mental health for our young people and staff.
All new staff at Lavender Grove Cares take part in a clear recruitment procedure and comprehensive DBS, health and references checks. All interviews will be carried out under the Safer Recruitment Interviewing Process.
All staff will complete a thorough induction programme which includes completing and more importantly understanding Lavender Grove Cares core policies. Lavender Grove holds a training matrix for all staff ensuring that there is oversight and timeframes for all learning and has an online training portal that has an extensive range of courses and additional learning for staff. Completion of the induction programme, completing questions and demonstrating learning is part of the probationary process.
