Deputy Registered Manager, Loddon Court - Wokingham full Time £37,235.32

Loddon Court is a residential short breaks service (sometimes called respite) that offers overnight stays and afternoon visits to adults with learning disabilities who live in a family environment.

We understand how essential it is for Carers to take a much-needed break from time to time, so we provide excellent person-centered support you can rely on. Our aim is to provide Carers with an opportunity to lead a quality life outside of their caring responsibilities; while offering the people we support a chance to experience some time away from home, meet other people, have fun or just relax. To help with planning, we offer people the option of booking up to 12 months in advance.

Before a person stays at our short breaks service, we work with them to understand their routines, needs and requirements, and will create an individual support plan to ensure that our team understands how each person likes to be supported.

We make every effort to ensure that people's stay with us is comfortable and enjoyable. We always have a variety of leisure activities to choose from, such as arts and crafts, music and singing, dance, fitness, cooking, watching a movie, or going out to the pub.

For people who are considering or planning a move into their own home, we create an excellent stepping stone. We provide an environment where people can develop independent living skills and a phased introduction into a supported living setting.

We are now looking to secure a Deputy Registered Manager to support this service.
