Our staff are our greatest asset. High quality training is a vital part of ensuring that staff are equipped to work constructively with our young people. Our staff training and development manager is constantly seeking and arranging basic and advanced courses to meet our changing needs. We are justifiably proud of our staff’s commitment & resilience – here are some of their thoughts
Care Afloat:
“Responds promptly to individual need”
“Ensures opportunities for holistic development”
“Provides safety & security within clear parameters”
“Offers unconditional positive regard”

We have recently been re-appraised for the Investor in People award, and have passed with commendations. Staff turnover is much lower than the national average in the sector. Use of agency staff is extremely rare(4 times in 2005) to ensure our young people have a consistent team in their lives.
